SANTO DOMINGO.- With nearly 50,000 lines Dominican Republic just like other countries, began the massive use of the Internet Protocol (IP) technology or the converter device (ATA), that when connected allows the use of a conventional telephone anywhere the world.
Dominican Telecomm Institute (Indotel) president Jose Rafael Vargas’ statement is in his report to start the regulatory agency’s new management and work projections for the 2008-2012 period. “This service, using IP technology also began to be provided in Dominican Republic, consisting in the use of telephones with Internet Protocol, through which its computer with Internet access is turned into a telephone with assigned number, or through an ATA device, which is an adapter or converter."
He said a conventional telephone can be connected with this technology, "and this way we’ll be able to take our telephone with a Dominican number to any part of the world or rural area where there’s Internet access and to make and receive calls as if we were home."
Vargas said the new service providers CODETEL, Dgtec, Skymax, Tricom and Trilogy, say it’s already begun to show an interesting growth, reporting nearly 50,000 lines to September 30.

Multiplexing (TDM) systems defined the rules of engagement for voice communications, today’s
Internet Protocol (IP) systems not only deliver uncompromised voice quality but also enable a
larger number of new possibilities. There’s no question that more organizations will continue to
migrate to IP networks and take advantage of the technology’s added capabilities. Imagine
routinely web-enabling a business presentation, video-enabling a business call, or seamlessly
moving from a wireline to a wireless network in mid-conversation. And that’s just the beginning.
IP-based networks also improve employee productivity, employee mobility, business performance,
and all while streamlining costs.
Its nice to see this technology gain ground in DR.
Hopefully it will open up the market for residential telephone service thus making it more competitive.

How do I know what?
-...........And the bottom line is that no savings will ever be passed down to consumers, why? Dominicans DO NOT pass down savings to their customers
--- OR ---
-...........As far as competition dont think this is likely as the key players will do everything to place barriers.
