Re: but how much????
There are still concerns over VOIP that haven't been addresses yet, but the day is coming.
The 911 issues are resolved for some users, but not all, and there is still the issue of who powers it? One advantage good ol' telephony has is that it's self powered. And that means a lot after the tornado or earthquake. More reliable battery backups will address this.
And right now, there is the problem of SCALE. On a mass market level, (really big mass market) it hasn't proven itself. (yet)
The day is coming. But it won't be the only game in town. Good ol POTS will be around for a long time to come.
Just another choice for the consumer. Hardly the demise of the ILECs however. |
