VoIP can provide significant cost savings over traditional phone lines by utilizing an internet connection instead. It offers new features like video calling and integrations with applications. The history of VoIP dates back to 1973 with voice calls over ARPANET, and it grew slowly until broadband proliferation after 2000 accelerated adoption. A key development was SIP standardization in 1999-2005 that helped VoIP systems communicate. However, hacking VoIP services for profit is illegal, as one man learned after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing $1.4 million in calls.

7. VoIP hacker gets 10 years in prison
By Mike Dolan Created 09/27/2010 - 12:07pm
After he sold VoIP services routing calls over over other networks
that he hacked, Edwin Andres Pena racked up $1.4 million worth
of stolen calls. The Venezuelan citizen based his operations out of
New Jersey and went on the run when he was arrested back in 2006.
Police caught up with him in Mexico in 2009 and he is the first person
to be sentenced to prison for hacking VoIP services.
Pena set up a wholesale voice company in which he sold
VoIP minutes at cut rate prices. The secret to his bargain
calling plans was that the minutes were all stolen by hacking
other VoIP companies. Now, he will spend ten years behind
bars and then face a number of years under supervision
to prevent him from striking again. He will also have to
come up with another scheme during that time to pay
back the million plus dollars he must pay in restitution.
It is also in the works that he will be deported back to
Venezuela where he is a citizen.
