Imagine that your corporate ethernet LAN-Local Area Network and any other Fortune 500 company LAN can connect via a Voice Peering Facility-Fabric (www.thevpf.com) at 60 Hudson in New York City, 700 South Federal in Chicago or via the VPF in Beijing, China. Calls from any LAN business or otherwise can be routed through the VPF and then to your LAN and to your desk. Look Ma, no Internet routing hops would be involved. Cable TV operators create a large metropolitan LAN for cable modem service. This concept just extends your LAN to anywhere. The calls would cost nothing per minute, aside from the fixed monthly cost of the digital link.
