TI is betting that Internet telephony will be the next major application to drive broadband connections into peoples' homes.

"I really believe voice-over-packet is going to be the second killer application after broadband Internet access," an TI executive said.

The world's largest maker of chips for cell phones believes the technology that allows people to make voice calls over the Internet, known as voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), will grow rapidly from the relatively small user base it has today.

TI said the VoIP application will take off when the whole process becomes transparent and people do not realize they are specially making a call over the Internet.
