Just How Big Will VoIP Market Grow? (Part 2)
As the Point Topic report states very briefly towards the end of its document:
“If you work hard and manage to marry your internet telephony service with a major mobile device manufacturer and solve any number of technical and regulatory issues, the market could really explode.”
Just How Big Will VoIP Market Grow? (Part 1)
One set of recent data on the size of the global VoIP market comes from research firm International Data Corporation, which released a detailed breakdown of the market’s 2011 successes. This report states that the market racked up about $3.5 billion last year, when all was said and done.
$3.5 billion is a far, far cry from the $40 billion Point Topic projects for 2015, which begs the question… will the VoIP market really grow in size by over 10x last year’s volume over the course of the next 3-4 years? Is such growth even possible, or is Point Topic simply pulling grandiose numbers out of thin air?
Why is Skype Launching Free Wi-Fi in Britain?
Talk about giving up more privacy! It remains to be seen whether it will meet wide adoption among business community and whether this kind of targeted marketing will not turn many end users away from service.
Birth of New Unified Communications Ecosystem
From all the mobile/desktop convergence in the world of computers we can extrapolate a very simple, and very likely, principle for the future of communication technology – uniform functionality and usability across the board regardless of what sort of device you’re using: a standard ecosystem. As far as computers are concerned mobile and desktop are going to work in pretty much the same way in the near future which hints that we’re going to see something very similar occurring in the world of desktop phones.
Will Telephony Regulators Lose Their Teeth With VoIP Adoption?
The likely passage of SB 1161 needs to be taken pretty seriously. It won’t really change the way smaller, independent telephony companies and VoIP providers operate, but it will give the big telecom oligarchs, like AT&T, free rein to cut or degrade service and to continue to charge their inflated prices. Furthermore, passage of SB 1161 may have pretty profound implications on not only home phones, but also on cell phones, as mobile devices are likely to jump on the VoIP train sooner rather than later. If VoIP is totally deregulated than that means the future of mobile telephony technology is going to be deregulated. And that’s kind of scary considering the way modern regulated telephony mobile providers already abuse their customers.
Are VoIP and Video Chat Really the Future of Mobile Communications?
A recent editorial by Joel Evans over at zdnet argues that two forces are going to drive the future of mobile communication- VoIP and Video Chat. He bases this argument on a pair of experiences he recently had using Skype’s premium outbound calling functionality as well as the VoIP service’s video chat abilities, both of which he used on his mobile device, an iPhone connected to AT&T’s 3G network. He argued that the quality of the VoIP and video chatting services were at least as good, and often superior in clarity and reliability, than normal calls he made using AT&T’s traditional telephony network.
Should The USF Cover Broadband?
Some people, mostly telecom industry professionals, like to argue about how the USF is funded. There are certainly a few glaring chinks in that armor, but these day’s we’re noticing a much bigger tussle over defining the boundaries of the USF. These days, the debate rages fiercer over what technologies, precisely, we need to spread equitably around the country.
