| This was discussed 2 years ago 2 years ago or so, members of various forums discussed the over 400 VOIP providers in the US alone (probably more VOIP carriers now). Many of these providers were garage operations or were forced to charges prices too low to generate profits, could not advertise, etc. Everyone knew a shakeout would happen. I must admit it took longer than I expected. Remember Broadvox? No one mentions them any longer and they were owned by a large corporation. Broadvoice? Another VOIP owned by a large company also has failed to make significant inroads into the market. Packet8 only survives by selling more stock to keep itself afloat. Even Vonage, the market leader has to spend millions on advertising to keep generating new customers because VOIP is often NOT out of box ease of use. At least culling out the weak will enable to fewer VOIP providers left to provide better service, hopefully, if the cable companies don't take over the phone market totally. For me, Vonage is reliable. Very reliable and at $24/month, much cheaper than Comcast. | | |

A lot of those folks are not laughing now and are, in fact signing up with AT&T. | |
