Telecom Briefing Objective

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) represents a major opportunity for carriers, manufacturers, suppliers and end users. After several false starts, it now appears that the VoIP market is taking off. Almost all of the telephone service providers and cable companies are rolling out VoIP services. Many pure VoIP players are competing ever aggressively in this market. VoIP will have a major impact on the public switched telephone network and the communications market in general as we know it.

Issues to be explored include:

  • Current state of the VoIP market in the U.S. and worldwide
  • Recent technical breakthroughs
  • Regulatory and policy issues affecting the market
  • Benefits and challenges when deploying VoIP networks
  • VoIP Strategies of the phone and cable companies
