2007 Promises Busy Year For Mobile VoIP
Thanks to the seemingly ubiquitous nature of wireless connectivity, many of the promises of new options for consumers and business made in 2006 will be realized in 2007, according to VoIP experts.
Companies that made headlines in 2006 will again hold the spotlight, including AT&T, Sprint Nextel and Vonage . And cellular carriers will embrace past competitors as old technology is upgraded.
With nearly 75 percent of the U.S. population owning a cell phone, 2007 looks to be the year of the dual-mode mobile phone. Such handsets can place calls using either a cellular network or a Wi-Fi connection, ABI Research analyst Phil Solis said.
