A Guide to VoIP: The traditional telephone network (PSTN)
To understand this point it is necessary to clarify, at least in principle, how the traditional telephone network (PSTN) and the internet work.
The two networks can be thought of as two plans which have different communication technologies and, consequently, different tariff plans. On the telephone network, switching is referred to as "circuit switching", in that communication between two users is made possible by reserving a "path" that connects them during the communication. This type of use of the network has many deficiencies. The first is the fact that the network administrator (Telecom in Italy) has to build many "lanes" to ensure the accessibility of the service to a sufficient number of users. The immediate consequence of this is the high cost of connection. Traditional telephone traffic is charged on the basis of time.
