One expert has claimed that voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services will be an integral part of digital communications moving forward, in remarks that might catch the attention of those seeking contract jobs.

Simon Milner, director of group industry policy at BT, discussed the importance of developing technologies that can respond efficiently to disruption and ensure people are able to work from whichever location they choose.

He said that BT is intent on \"coming up with really innovative new approaches to voice\".

Mr Milner hinted that many entrepreneurs are eager to find business models that are in keeping with their commercial strategy, not to mention the behaviour of their targeted consumers.

According to a recent analysis by Frost & Sullivan, VoIP access and session initiation protocol trunking services have shown a pattern of growth and should continue to prove popular with users.

This trend has been achieved despite the economic downturn.

Contractors can use smartphones for a variety of business purposes.

Freelancers might want to assess the effectiveness of their broadband access.

Contractors can take advantage of the internet's broad reach.
