• Broadband IP telephony
• Voice-enabled IM.

These applications are being used by small business and enterprises. They must first understand how VoIP will work best for them. It may vary by location or circumstance:

Individual remote workers - often using broadband telephone, Vonage-type, AT&T CallVantage or Verizon VoiceWing — that kind of broadband IP solution.

A new location with long-distance calling - an IP PBX or upgrade or modify the existing TDM PBX and IP-enable it.

Considerations
