VOIP
The introduction of a VOIP system to EvE by CCP, one which we will have to pay to use, really goes against everything i, and im sure alot of other people, thought CCP stood for.
Having played BF2 for quite some time now i can tell CCP from experiance that introducing a VOIP system will do nothing but cause major problems for them. With the mysterious connection drops to the server aswell as lag-kicks and so on, the VOIP system will not work as intended.
Integrated VOIP systems in games have been known to cause major problems, i rememmber Planetside being down for almost a full week because of their integrated voice system, BF2 has had no end of bugs due to its VOIP system.
CCP, the majority of the posts i have seen on this forum have been against having a VOIP system in eve. I implore you, spend time on things that are more vital to the players and eve as a whole, rather than somthing which we the players really dont need or intend to use.
Please listen to your community.
I leave the floor open to anyone who wishes to comment.

Since it's a free service not signed.
Since I don't vote against anything i do not know or experienced yet not signed.
No the service is not free. You will have to pay extra per month to use it.

signed.
but seriously, even if they bring it in...why btoher paying for it? just keep on using vent/ts as usual.
My post is not to stop people paying for it. Its to put an end to the waste of time trying to impliment it, causing more downtimes and problems for eve as a whole when no one will use it.

Its simple really, everything a VOIP system can do teamspeak can do too.
As the interview says, you will be able to contact your squad commanders directly, thats possible with teamspeak, you just bind your keys to your fleet commanders or have channel commander talk binded and have all your commanders flagged with channel commander.
Teamspeak + Vent - Free
VOIP - Not Free
Not a good move ccp :(

It appears this is an optional service so 'not signed'. 
Yes but every player has paid for it due to the fact the time spent on developing testing and integrating this VOIP could have been put to better use - reducing lag, improvments and so on.

True. But, I don't mine. Should I be starting a vote to stop all development on mining upgrades?
No because tha majority of eve mine and a large majority are empire miners.
I can honestly say right now if things are as i think they are, very few people will pay for this.

As a CEO for a Corporation in game I'm keeping a close eye on this topic of the in game voice system. The decideing factor for me will be costs involved.
The questions I have revolve around the cost.
Is it a per person fee or per corp/alliance?
If it's per person I'm going to scrap the idea of getting a server for my corp because I'm not going to force my members to pay an extra fee for bells and whistles. If it's a per corp fee and the fee is reasonable I'll look into getting it otherwise I'll stick with Teamspeak where a corp I'm allied with has gave my corp a room to use.
From details released it will be per person.
