Is Skype Taking Over VoIP In North America??
Author: Michael Lemm
If the news from broadband management company Sandvine is any indication...the answer is yes. At least for residential anyway. Calls using Skype account for nearly half of the VOIP minutes used (46.2%) and about 40% of the VOIP bandwidth used in North America, according to an analysis done by Sandvine. That puts Skype usage ahead of Vonage, Cablevision, and other popular branded residential VOIP offerings. In fact, Sandvine says Skype users account for 35.8% of individual VOIP callers on North American networks.
Now again....look deeper. That's residential users......not business. Skype can't deliver the capability, capacity, and reliability businesses require. Plus residential Skype users are tied to a PC and headset arrangement. Businesses balk at that restriction. So Skype is still a nice alternative for the regular Joe....for now.
Skype is all about getting users hooked on the free part and then charging for additional services like SkypeOut and video conferencing. Also....Skype says it themselves, they are not a replacement for your home telephone -- they are an ancillary communication service.
Skype's master plan is to eventually begin licensing the Skype software to handset manufacturers around the world. So while Skype may be a threat to VOIP companies and wireline carriers now, it could evolve into a threat for mobile service providers too. Hmmmmm......the future looks to be very interesting.

USB Phones for VOIP or Internet Chatting
The last couple of years have seen phenomenal growth in VOIP or
voice over internet protocol. You can now talk to your friend or
family member either down the street or half way around the
world by easily connecting into the internet. All that is
required is a high speed connection, a computer and a headset.
Instead of using the clunky headsets that incorporate both the
headphones and microphone, many people are opting to purchase
USB telephones. These phones are extremely similar to your
normal home phone except that you plug them into a USB port
instead of the old style telephone jacks.
Many people love the convenience of being able to talk to anyone
around the world for one low price which many VOIP services
offers. In addition many internet search portals are now
offering phone chat, which is the same thing as IM'ing but with
voice instead of text.
Most internet phones are extremely inexpensive and cost... |
