With compression in the end-system it is able to quickly take advantage of latest compression algorithms. Unrestricted by fixed 64 kbitls channels, Internet telephony can, in principle, always select the optimum balance between cost and qUality. Furthermore Internet telephony is easily integrated with other media or other computer applications. For these reasons, today's Internet real-time applications signal a fundamental change in the delivery of future real-time services.
