Define “VoIP” – and then we can debate whether it is dead!…

There is a fundamental problem with the “VoIP is dead” debate continuing to rage across the VoIP/communications part of the blogosphere (see Alec Saunders part 1 and part 2, Jon Arnold, Andy Abramson, Ken Camp, Jeff Pulver part 1 and……

Does MagicJack have 5% of USA households by now? Probabily close. The perfect product for the economic downturn.

That doesn’t sound dead to me.

Looking forward to YOUR perspectives Dameon.

Michael, I hope you’ll join the conference call and state your opinion. Should be a good discussion with really SMART people.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies here.

Thanks Dameon. Hope you make the call on Monday.

Michael, I think you’re spot on with the real meat of this. VoIP isn’t dead. It just isn’t a relevant part of customer conversation. I’m hoping I can convince my colleagues to stop thinking and talking in old terms and refocus on real solutions that solve business problems. And the to talk about them in those terms without hanging on to the old hype and baggage of the past.

I cannot believe at how much navel-gazing the voip blogosphere engages in from time to time. Dead is not the same as irrelevant. VoIP may, or may not be relevant to end-user focused communications solutions. End-user focused solutions is where the action seems to be at present.

What some might consider the VoIP revolution may well have passed. The low hanging fruit may well be picked over. But don’t tell me that we do everything so well that there’s not room for improvement!

Perhaps with the broad adoption of the technology it’s lost its appeal. It may no longer be salient in and of itself.
