Businesses that elect to send a fax via internet connections do not have to pay for everything that was associated with the old facsimile machines. With the machine gone, they do not have to worry about repairs or about paying for toner and paper.
They do not have to train staff to use them. The system involved in sending faxes online is incredibly simple.
Best of all, businesses can get rid of their extra phone lines. Phone companies will not be happy about this but the public will be as businesses pass their savings on to customers.
