Dear Reader,<br />
The Internet has had a profound impact upon the worlds economy. It has made it possible to live in Rio de Janeiro and<br />
work in London. It has brought information and diversion to homes and multiplied the efficiency of business. The selfsame<br />
Internet, VoIPVoice over Internet Protocolis now, steadily but surely, overtaking traditional voice communications.<br />
In the process, it is profoundly changing the communications sector, the technology it uses, the services it provides<br />
and its entire economic structure. A call to any point on the globe will soon cost no more than a call to a next-door neighbour.<br />
Operating companies throughout the world, faced with competitors such as Skype and Vonnage that offer very low cost, or<br />
even free calling, have to re-think their strategies for survival. Service providers of all sorts and makers of both wired and<br />
wireless equipment for networks and terminals have to revise decades of thinking and planning to accommodate the<br />
change. The impact upon users throughout the world and especially in developing regions where telecommunications were<br />
never affordable, cannot be estimated.<br />
The next issue of <strong>Connect</strong>-<strong>World</strong> Asia-Pacific will examine this latest Internet invasion. We will look at what it means to<br />
Asia Pacifics people, businesses, service providers and equipment suppliers and how both governments and companies<br />
need to plan for the change.<br />
The theme for the next issue of <strong>Connect</strong>-<strong>World</strong> Asia-Pacific will be IPIntelligent Positioning for Growth. It will explore<br />
what can be done to maximise the benefits and minimise the pain of the critical migration of telecommunications services<br />
to Internet Protocol, IP- based, communications.<br />
