Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (CRWE)

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol and it transmits voice data using IP packets over the Internet. It is also called Internet Telephony. It's easier to understand VoIP if you know a little about our telephone system PSTN (the Public Switched Telephone Network) and a little about the Internet.

Your traditional land line transmits calls through copper or fiber cables in the ground or on telephone poles with a cable connected to your home. When someone makes a call, one continuous route is made between the two phones and the information flows continuously in this loop. Voice over Internet Protocol works little differently. It works using the Internet, which is a packet-based network. Packet-based just means that instead of sending one continuous string of information, it sends out smaller packets of information.

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (CRWE) offers internet media-driven advertising services, which covers and connects a range of marketing specialties, as well as search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness.

VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) is an IP telephony term for a set of facilities used to manage the delivery of voice information over the Internet. VoIP involves sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than by using the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). A major advantage of VoIP and Internet telephony is that it avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service.

VoIP uses the real-time protocol (RTP) to help ensure that packets get delivered in a timely way. Using public networks, it is currently difficult to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS). Better service is possible with private networks managed by an enterprise or by an Internet telephony service provider (ITSP).

Majestic Gold Corp. (MJS.V)

Majestic Gold Corp. engages in the exploration and development of mineral properties in China. The company focuses on its gold project located in the prolific gold region of Song Jiagou in eastern Shandong Province. Majestic Gold Corp. is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Gold mineralization on Song Jiaguo is hosted by a series of steeply dipping, sub-parallel north-northeast trending fault zones within upper Cretaceous conglomerates overlying Proterozoic granitic rocks. The area of Song Jiaguo is interpreted as being the higher levels of a mesothermal system where gold bearing fluids have mineralized the matrix of the host conglomerates. The gold bearing quartz veins would then likely continue too much lower levels in the system.

Gold deposits are plenty during the early times and those people who lived on that era use gold in commerce and trade. Gold is also turned into bullion or gold coins, and it is being used as a form of currency during the early times. As we continue to progress and have modern technologies that continue to develop, the value of gold continues to increase. Its value was discovered in so many fields of study.
