		Spam and spim - spam by instant messenger - are about to be joined by "spit" - spam over internet telephony.
		Also known as voice-over IP (VoIP), it is rapidly rising in popularity thanks to the fact that internet connections are becoming faster, and because it is cheap - it avoids the taxes levied on landline calls.
		VoIP uses internet protocols to send information, meaning one message can easily be sent to thousands of recipients.

		Spam is quite possible over voice circuits, especially the VoIP ones, and it can be just as menacing as that over e-mail.
		VoIP protocols and specifications like the H.323 (including its.450.x extensions) and SIP have been designed to support authentication mechanisms that demand that the sender of messages authenticate and authorize themselves before they send a message.

	Net phone customers brace for 'VoIP spam' \| CNET News.com
		The VoIP market is growing fast, and security experts say it's all but inevitable that new marketing techniques like "VoIP spam" will spring up to take advantage of its strengths.
		For example, Vonage, the largest residential VoIP services provider with some 200,000 subscribers, said it assigns phone numbers along with IP addresses, making it more difficult for spammers to generate hundreds of calls per minute, according to a company representative.
		An MCI spokeswoman said VoIP spam is "not an issue on the network because we are engineering a solution to prevent it." She said the company knows of no incidents to date of VoIP spam on the MCI network.

	Watch Your Mouth - CSO Magazine - September 2004
		SPIT stands for spam over Internet telephony and could become just as annoying, according to executives from Qovia, which recently filed two patent applications for technology to thwart SPIT.
		VoIP gives companies the ability to consolidate telephony and networking infrastructures within the enterprise, integrate voice with e-mail and contact-management applications, and banish traditional office phones in favor of softphones that are integrated into desktop or laptop computers, says Richard Tworek, president and CEO of Qovia.
		With the many new features of VoIP come new challenges for CSOs, including the eventual threat of spam and viruses, which few enterprise networks are equipped to handle today, says Elizabeth Herrell, a research analyst at Forrester.

		"Spam is a small piece of the much bigger issue of voice security in the IP world," Arnold says.
		"Someone is going to use VoIP for spam." Since every other medium has been the conduit of unwanted marketing messages, from bulk faxes to telemarketing to IM spam, he says, Qovia engineers began to research whether it was possible to broadcast voice-mail.

	SPIT, or Spam over Internet Telephony
		This has led to one of the less appetizing acronyms around (it begins the title of this tip) to describe what must surely be an unpleasant side effect of mingling the ease of access and ubiquitous reach of the Internet with telephone systems.
		For the time being, SPIT is more of a stalking horse than a real threat, because most voice messages require that streaming audio be recorded to work.
		Though SPIT may not yet be a clear and present danger, it's real enough that those developing technology that could enable it to be broadcast also feel compelled to develop suitable counter-technologies to keep such capability from being misused.
