The Broadband Telephone Revolution is in full swing. Consumers all over the world are leveraging the power of their high-speed Internet connection to make and receive phone calls every day. The benefit is simple: for less money you can get the same, or better, telephone service as your current telephone company.

The British arm of telecommunications giant AT&T is working on what it's calling the Broadband Phone System, a gadget that could turn a conventional telephone into a flexible and powerful communication and collaboration tool.

The ATT broadband phone is initially envisioned as an enhancement to the way businesses communicate in their everyday activities, but if it works out in that environment it isn't much of a leap to think it could show up in people's home as well.

What the ATT broadband phone adds to this mix is a touch screen LCD monitor, a variety of appropriate software applications that ATT thinks will open up a whole world of opportunities.

AT&T says you'll also get more traditional Internet features, like messaging, voice mail, e-mail, chat, and fax. The LCD screen will also be able to host a Web Browser, so people at both ends of the call can research something on the Web at the same time.
