Vantage Point

Strategic marketing concepts and business observations. Small business start-up experiences.

Monday, November 03, 2003

I noticed an editorial in the newspaper discussing the inevitable downfall of the telephone industry. Not only has long distance service fallen apart in recent years, but soon the local service side of the business is going to cave in to internet telephony according to the editorial. I can't find the editorial to "Blog It" but here is a link to different article that I found. Lightreading.com

The company putting fear into the telcos is Skype. The same people who built the peer-to-peer music sharing site, Kazaa, are developing a peer-to-peer free telephony business. Guess I'll have to get some headphones and check out my mic. But then, I'm not too sure my wireless network can handle it. But with time . . . (the only thing constant is CHANGE)
