VoIP competitors try to avoid spiting on their subscribers Telecompetitor.comWelcome to the world of SPIT, op SPam over Internet Telephony. It’s the latest craze for spammers and it’s causing headaches for VoIP providers like Skype. SPIT is very analogous to SPAM, where VoIP subscribers receive actual unsolicited telephone calls offering typical SPAM type products like organ enlargement or weight loss pitches. The difference with SPIT though is can be much more damaging to a VoIP providers network because of the large bandwidth bottlenecks it can create. If not kept in check, SPIT can cause serious quality of service problems for VoIP providers, leading to a potential competitive disadvantage.
