During Winter 2005, a team of ITS staff, lead by Harvey Sherman, began experimenting with Voice Over IP (VOIP) technology.  The main purpose of this initiative is to provide campus telephone access in the classrooms at no cost to the University. 

Several ITS staff have been interviewed by Channel 12 about either using or working with VOIP technology. 

In Fall 2005, several VOIP phones were installed in general classrooms in the William S. White Building.  The phones are located on the wall in the front of the room and are wired into the campus network.

In Winter 2006, all phones are installed in WSW and MSB.
