When I entered the fledgling cable TV industry in 1979, a newly minted
college grad, I remember thinking, WOW, everyone should be in this
business. Even discounting those ignorance-on-fire days, the feeling of
being in an industry poised to take off like cable did is one I'll never
forget.
It's the same feeling I have now, marketing the rapidly emerging broadband
voice technology VoIP, and creating a vibrant new revenue stream for my
business. Only this time, it's not a new product introduction - the
residential, landline voice market in the US alone represents hundreds of
billions of dollars in existing consumer spending. It's consumer spending
previously held captive by a relative thimbleful of companies due to
technology and regulatory constraints. Now this market share "deck of
cards" has been tossed up in the telecom whirlwind, with enormous
opportunities for individuals and small businesses to tap into huge,
recurring, monthly income streams.
The market research firm IDC says more than 10 million residential phone
customers are now using VoIP services, and it predicts that the number
will grow to 44 million in 2010. The Harvard Business Review, in a recent
article predicts not only rapid growth for VoIP but also profound,
beneficial changes to the way businesses operate, as a result of VoIP
deployment. The impetus for such a rapid, mass shift in market share is
simple: Lots more features and functions for about half the price the
Bells (over)charge for unlimited local & LD.
And it's getting bigger. My company is already marketing VoIP video
phones, and flat-rate global calling plans that the big phone companies
can only dream about. And we represent the only VoIP provider in the US
currently offering VoIP service in Puerto Rico...WITH Puerto Rican phone
#s. Also, right around the corner is IPTV, internet-based video
entertainment which promises the same market share impact on the cable &
satellite TV business.
Here's some of the things being said about VoIP:
"VoIP will irreversibly alter the world of communications. VoIP is the
most significant paradigm shift in the entire history of modern
communications since the invention of the telephone."
-- Michael Powell, Former FCC Chairman, Fortune Magazine - July 2004
"VoIP will be the largest transfer of wealth ever in American business
history.
-- Business Week magazine, 2004
"There will be 50 million new subscribers to this service by 2008"
-- Harvard Business Review, September 2005
