Wireless Broadband Phone Calls Begin to Rise
As a result of the current boom in cheap broadband products, it
has been predicted that up to one-third of people in the US and
Europe will abandon traditional phone lines in favour of
Wireless Broadband telephony by 2010.
Wireless broadband telephony is becoming increasingly popular
among consumers as people become more confident with their use
of high-speed internet connections. It is now apparent that Cheap Broadband
products offer a cheap alternative to fixed-line voice phone
calls.
In fact, more and more people are abandoning their fixed-line
home telephone products as they realize that they are doubling
up on expenses by having both broadband internet and a
fixed-line phone product running simultaneously.
By 2010 it is widely predicted that over 75% of voice
connections around the world will be wireless. This is due to a
combination of factors such as avoiding doubling up of expenses,
falling mobile phone costs, and the expansion of such products
into the emerging economies of China and India. These two
countries alone account for a population of over 2 billion
people, or one-third of the entire population of the world.
Skype, which provides software for broadband telephony via the
PC, has so far proved popular with consumers, but it is
predicted that mobile telephones will eventually win out. This
is because Skype requires a computer and a headset and it is
more likely that wireless telephone services such will be what
eventually catch on. A lot of people have downloaded Skype, but
not many are
actually using it.
The growing popularity of broadband telephony is not good for
traditional telephone companies unless they are willing to
embrace new technology and profit from it. Most appear to be
embracing the technology and will therefore benefit from it,
however prices for mobile telephones are much lower than for
traditional fixed-line telephony meaning it will not be a major
source of ongoing revenue in the same way as fixed-line
telephone services have been in the past.
There will be more than three billion mobile telephone
subscribers throughout the world by 2010. It is vital that
telcos put wireless technology at the top of their agenda if
they are to be successful in the future or face the consequences
of falling behind the trend. To put it bluntly, telcos will need
to have a clear wireless strategy or they will perish.
As a result, many fixed line operators are currently integrating
wireless with their traditional phone services, effectively
packaging the services together. They are then marketing them to
consumers with the convenience of having one device and one bill
for both mobile and fixed line calls. But if mobile phone
pricing continues to fall, this might not be enough to convince
people that they still need a phone line in their home.
There is already a small but emerging trend for people to use
only their mobile wireless technology in their home, and do away
with a fixed phone line altogether.
