International Call

Yesterday, I got a surprise call. It's a call from my friend that are studying aboard. He said his computer was broken, so he cannot talk to other in Thailand with the MSN messeger.

This make me think about the cost of the call. Why the international call cost is so expensive?

Nowaday, there's a technology, VoIP, that send voice over the IP network (aka. the internet). It's cheaper than the ordinary way.

However, due to the delay and efficiency of the internet, the quality of VoIP is not good enough. When you use the VoIP, you may feel that you are using a walky-talky.

I hope that in the nearly future, people can communicate to other without any limitation of distance and languages.
