A recent article and report published by Durham NH based Leichtman Research has indicated that broadband services were up for the first time in a long time in the first quarter of 2010.
This report is great news for those end users and carriers interested in selling Hosted VoIP services; Net new broadband circuits probably means that Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) is on the way out for these same businesses.
The Aastra Carrier sales team has several Hosted VoIP carriers who use the embedded base of POTS service as a lead source, of sorts. That is to say if a customer has a lot of older cooper POTS lines or circuits, billing anywhere from $35 to $65 / month / circuit (depending on where you live), the Hosted VoIP carrier will offer SIP Trunking or Hosted VoIP service to replace these connections.
The net result is the customer can disconnect these lines and receive concrete savings as a result of going to the new, broadband based SIP trunk or Hosted VoIP service. Broadband, for both internet and now voice, is becoming the mean vehicle to deliver these services.
I envision the day when the multipurpose, broadband circuit will be all the only wired carrier service needed to run a business. If this happens get ready for the regulated phone companies to go crying to their local department of utilities for a rate increase for those POTS lines.
