Is VoIP for everybody?

VoIP IS for everybody, but for the moment it is not CONVENIENT for everybody.
Let's say: It is not yet a mass market product.
Why?

It is true, it has all the features to be, it is a cheap way to make calls, much cheaper than the actual telephony, it is relatively easy to deploy.

That is not enough to make it a widespread product.

85% of the calls are local and relatively cheap.
More: most calls are on cell phone and VoIP is not a competitor to cell phones, especially when we talk about LOCAL calls.

It will undoubteluy be a mass market product, because it has all the features to be.
But only when most of the people will be on IP.

Then the local call will be completely FREE, the user won't have the need to have two lines.

Now the question is: Who will make that possible?

The easiest and fastest way should be the Telecoms who are also Internet providers.
But would they be so stupid to loose the huge income of their voice line?

There is a big hole in the Market and it needs to be filled.
There is a huge potential out there, a lot of good unemployed people in search of a job.

Will they be intelligent enough to see the opportunity, or will they let the market in the hands of a new and old monopoly?

The Internet is a Revolution, but only if the people understand it.

Free lancers, intelligent people of today, let's all fight for a new generation where the power is no more in the hands of a few...
