VOIP, VoIP, VIP, Voip or voip which is correct

When technical articles are written about Voice Over Internet Protocol most authors like to save their fingers and use an acronym to represent the concept of passing voice in a packet-switched environment. But how should this be correctly written?

Well, in one of the best series of VOIP/VoIP/Voip/voip books I've read, the Wiley published Beyond VOIP Protocols and the higher level IP, both by Olivier Hersent, Jean-Pierre Petit and David Gurle, they use ‘VoIP’ in the main body of the text but ‘VOIP’ in the titles.

The excellent Guardian style guide instructs ‘Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters: BBC, VAT etc; if it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, unless it can be considered to have entered the language as an everyday word, such as awol, laser and, more recently, asbo, pin number and sim card. Note that pdf and plc are lowercase’. Voip is pronounced as a word so Voip is correct, but Voip is an everyday word in my office so perhaps i should write voip.

But i dont feel voip carries enough umph to pull off the concept.

It is therefore my solemn recommendation that:

VOIP should be used in titles

Voip should be used in all other places

I can cite several advantages of this service, referring to my personal experience with the HotTelecom company, an outstanding representative of this service. We will analyze in more detail. Telephone service bills are decreasing, which regularly raise tariffs. There are no bills for international calls - negotiations with foreign partners and branches are conducted through VoIP. Introducing new features and expanding the available capabilities of a VoIP network is almost cost-free. The costs of administering corporate networks are reduced — managing a single network is simpler and cheaper than several disparate ones. You can easily implement the automatic secretary function, which answers customer calls and switches them to the desired corporate number. There is no need to lay wires for the organization of additional telephone lines - data is transmitted through a single channel. And this is only part of the savings and the benefits that you get when using this service. I think the solution should be obvious to you.
