As the name clearly states, VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is the packetization of voice so it can be transported using Internet protocol. Without voice packetization, new IP-based media processing platforms would not have come into existence and new speech technologies that leverage these platforms would not be possible at all. This is clear. In an ideal world, new speech applications would simply provide their services to 100 percent VoIP networks. The reality is that the deployment of VoIP in service provider and enterprise networks means that there is now a greater variety of circuit, packet, wireless, and wireline networks than ever in the past. VoIP actually has the potential to make it more difficult for enhanced speech and voice automation services to be economically viable from a development and deployment perspective. That is precisely why Carrius created the Service Delivery Gateway – to enable
