THE NEW INDUSTRY
From Fortune Magazine, August 2004
Telecom is a $750 billion dollar a year industry and it is about to go through the biggest transition in history. Combine this with the explosive Internet industry, which is eclipsing over $900 billion per year, and you get two of the world's most powerful industries on the planet. The revolution is very real and the convergence of the internet & Telecommunications industry is now upon us.
WHAT MAKES THIS SO EXCITING AND EXPLOSIVE? It PROMISES to fuse two parallel communications universes: the phone system and the Internet.
But don't take our word for it, take a look at these facts:
• VOIP is an exciting technology that is about to ROCK a $750 billion dollar a year industry.
• VOIP's impact will be more profound than that of either cell phones or the Internet, largely because it encompasses both.
• VOIP will irreversibly alter the world of communications. "VOIP represents the most significant paradigm shift in the entire history of modern communications since the invention of the telephone." —Michael Powell, FCC chairman
• When phone conversations start speaking the same language as data, amazing things can happen. Monthly phone bills go down significantly...
• "Employees ask me what I'm most excited about, and I tell them, 'Voice over the Internet'" —Richard Parsons, CEO Time Warner
• "VOIP is the most significant, fundamental new technology shift in telecommunications in decades." —David W. Dorman, Chairman & CEO AT&T
• AT&T, Qwest, Cox Communications & Time Warner Telecom have each made major press releases, announcing major rollouts of VOIP service.
