Thoughts on Broadband Phone Technology

Well I rember back in 2000 when Voice Over DSL was a huge buzz word and it was going to take over the world and be in every home in America. Now the dot coms went bust and the term VoDSL is not heard much but just what do you think broadband phone services are? VoDSL indeed.

So why was the term dropped. Well for one I guess a lot of people have cable modem and the marketing geniuses figured out to not market away from them but I think the big reason is all the term ever was ended up being a buzz word to sway investors. DSL was super hot and in growth mode so they used the term as a spring board.

Now the IP market has tons of competitors some will make it and some won't. It is going to be an interesting decade as WiMax and 3G have their impacts on the IP phone market and what about broadband over power? Why not more buzz for that technology? Well probally because the telecoms are shitting a brick over it that's why. When the electric companies get this thing right look for monthly broadband to drop well below ten bucks per megabit!

One last note this dude Jack Spirko seems to be on top of the market. Check out his article on Telecom Agent Income and his report Getting the Most From Broadband Phone Services. This is a guy with some deep understanding of our industry.

I emailed Jack and asked him to start a blog his response was "If I can find time" He was nice enough to add a blogs section to one of his companies sites and listed my blog there.

Well that is about all I have in me today,
