When did VoIP start?

Jim Gurol (VP of Operations, Tierzero) gives expert video advice on: What is VoIP?; Is VoIP free?; Why is VoIP so cheap? and more...

Voice over IP started in 1995 when some hobbyists in Israel developed PC to PC communication using the internet. I realized it became more prevalent when I started seeing commercial manufacturers develop voice over IP sound cards that you plug your PBX into and you could transmit voice over the internet to other remote sites for corporate offices who want to talk to branch offices and save money. When I saw that explosion starting to happen I realized that Voice over IP was beginning to emerge.
