In the enterprise, low-cost offerings combined with richer business applications are driving the move to VoIP from traditional TDM-based telephony services. But what will be the catalyst that makes VoIP explode in consumer mainstream?
Though early adopters have given VoIP offerings a small, but growing, foothold in the residential market, there is not widespread acceptance. Several factors must be considered when determining what will enable VoIP to be the infrastructure of choice for consumers:
Is price the main issue, and if so, are the margins great enough to sustain providers?
Does the U.S. need deeper and broader broadband penetration?
How do you address highly publicized incidents of unreliability and poor quality?
Can smarter marketing, as part of triple and quadruple play packages, increase utilization of VoIP?
Does the technology comfort level between Generation Y and Baby Boomers factor in to acceptance of VoIP?
Join TelecomHUB at its October 26 luncheon meeting to hear perspectives on these topics and more from leading VoIP companies and analysts.
