Cellular VoIP vs Fixed VoIP
VoIP Central (via EFY Times) indicates that revenues from mobile VoIP will outdistance that from fixed VoIP in Europe and the USA, but especially in the latter, by 2012.
I think that there will be a fair bit of growth in business use of fixed VoIP, especially since communications costs for SMEs [VoIP Central] is expected to be reduce by 20-40%. This cost reduction can be enough to save a small business. As for cellular VoIP, there are a few solutions that work like a charm, but it has farther to go than either true (hard) VoIP (e.g., Vonage, SunRocket) or soft VoIP from a desktop or even laptop. However, SME and SOHO owners who see the benefit of fixed VoIP are likely to add cellular VoIP to their business comm toolkit, and then tell their friends about how much money they save. Hence, eventually cellular VoIP can most definitely outsell fixed VoIP.
