epicenter of the digital lifestyle, and beyond music, movie, email
and instant messenger, such individuals use their computers for
audible communication. Free services such as Skype, MSN Live
Messenger, GoogleTalk or Apple iChat have made it simple and
straightforward to verbally and, often visually, communicate with
friends, family and colleagues from across the globe. Meanwhile,
the growing popularity of, and technical expectations for these
types of video/voice applications has sparked the need for
solutions such as SRS Premium Voice in order to provide crystal
clear voice transmissions and help prevent the loss of meaningful
information between parties. "The telephone completely
