Online Chat can refer to any kind of Communication over Internet , but is primarily meant to refer to direct one-on-one chat or Text-based Group Chat (formally also known as Synchronous Conferencing ), using tools such as Instant Messaging applications— Computer Programs , Internet Relay Chat , Talker s and possibly MUD s, MUCK s, MUSH es and MOO es. While many of the Internet's well-known services offer online chat and messaging services for free, an increasing number of providers are beginning to show strong revenue streams from for-pay services. Again it is the Adult Service Provider s, profiting from the advent of reliable and high-speed Broadband , (notably across Eastern Europe ) who are at the forefront of the for-pay online chat revolution. For every business traveller engaging in a video call or Conference Call rather than braving the check-in queue, there are countless Web users replacing traditional conversational means with online chat and messaging. Like Email , which has reduced the need for and usage of letters, faxes, and memos, online chat is steadily replacing telephony as the means of office and home communication. The Early Adopter s in these areas are undoubtedly teenage users of Instant Messaging . It might not be long before SMS Text Messaging usage declines as mobile handsets provide the technology for online chat. SEE ALSO General terms
