The failure of any one company in this market makes for a less competitive environment. My own feeling is that the standalone VoIPs are falling prey to anti-competitive tying in cable company offers. It's punitively expensive to buy cable without also purchasing of the cableco's VoIP offering in the form of a bundled package.
That's just me. There's natural monopolies, and natural monopolists. Anyone in telecommunications is a natural monopolist. An industry that requires uncompromising and brutal regulation.
How long will it be before Verizon bundles its FiOS with VoIP and cell service (through the great Satan, Verizon Wireless)? One reason to press Verizon to divest Verizon Wireless. |
