PeerMe Voice enabling Internet system launched in India
Information Technology December 29th, 2005US based PeerMe Inc launched its Internet voice communication systems in India which the company said would be free and unlimited.
The company’s peer-to-peer voice system provides sound quality almost equal to Public Switched Telephone Network, free and unlimited to any Internet connected PC user worldwide, PeerMe Director Shailendra Kumarsaid in a release.
The company provides free communications over the Web like voice and instant messaging, besides enable direct communication between online users, he said.
“It can provide unlimited, free PC to PC Internet voice communications using free software downloaded from the company website or from hundreds of software download websites available”, Kumar said.
With India’s rapidly growing internet population, currently over 25 million users and fifth largest globally, company’s vision is to bring a human touch to Internet through voice-enabling system, he said.
With the launch of Peer Me software in India, the market of PC to PC voice communication market is going to heat up. The market have giants like Skype (who offers this service too), Yahoo! (with the voice chat facility in there messenger) etc. One intresting fact here is, that Peer Me and Yahoo don’t have any voice communication softwares for Linux users like me, but Skype have a nice looking software for it with voice clarity equivalent to MS Windows. So i am gonna use Skype, thats for sure. I have heard that Yahoo! is working on the voice communication software for linux too, but don’t know when its gonna release.
However, whatever would be the result of this corporate fight, one thing is for sure, thats users are going to have a ball in Voice Communication market.
