240 Part IV: Using a Wireless Network Some of the most popular online music hangouts include � Apple iTunes Music Store (www.itunes.com) � Real Network’s Rhapsody (www.rhapsody.com) � Napster (newly relaunched at www.napster.com) � eMusic (www.emusic.com) � Yahoo! Music (music.yahoo.com) Some sites require monthly fees to join, typically around $5 to $10 per month; others have their business model driven by download fees on a per song or per video basis. You don’t have to pay to get some music from the Internet — lots of Internet radio stations are out there. You can find Internet-only stations (Pat’s favorite is Radio Paradise, at www.radioparadise.com) and simulcasts from traditional broadcasters, such as National Public Radio (www.npr.org). To find online radio stations, check out SHOUTcast (www.shoutcast.com), Live365 (www.live365.com), or Radio-Locator (www.radio-locator.com), or just do a Web search on Yahoo! or Google. Remember that most online services incorporate DRM (digital rights management) technologies in their downloaded files. If you want to play these files across your network, you need to ensure that your media adapter or player supports the DRM system of the content you’ve downloaded (or of the service you are subscribed to). Unfortunately, this can limit your choices, but it’s a sad fact of how the entertainment industry treats their customers these days. There are some (happy) exceptions, however. Apple’s iTunes Store offers a number of DRM-free song downloads, and eMusic and Amazon.com’s online music stores are free of DRM.
Chapter 13 Using Your Wireless Network for Phone Calls In This Chapter � Understanding Voice over IP (VoIP) � Using VoIP Wi-Fi phones � DECTing your VoIP � Using Skype without wires � Understanding fixed mobile convergence Phones have been around for over a hundred years. In developed countries such as the U.S., the European Union, and many parts of Asia, there are more phones (several times more in some cases) than people. In the intervening century, the phone hasn’t stood still. Two big trends have affected the phone business: the advent of digital technologies and the rise of wireless technologies. Digital technologies have been in use within phone networks for decades. Phone companies use digital (and Internet protocol — IP) technologies within their networks to carry and route calls from place to place. Even if your home phone line is still an old-fashioned analog POTS (plain old telephone service) line, chances are nearly 100 percent that some major part of your phone call is carried over digital lines. And if you’re using a broadband VoIP (Voice over IP) service (for example, Vonage or Skype) in your home, your calls are 100 percent digital. Similarly, wireless technologies have been around for decades as well. We suspect that a lot of readers of Home Wireless Networking For Dummies have never known a time without a cordless phone in the home. And cell phones are beyond ubiquitous. There are over 3 billion (with a b) cell phone subscriptions in the world (a bit less than that number of users, because many
