A Couple of Predictions

Source: andyabramson.blogs.com

Some may call this trolling, but I have to air these thoughts out:

1. T-Mobile or Three will create a true VOIP play complete with a softclient for the PC. Bets are it will be either Counterpath’s eyeBeam or SipPhone’s Gizmo Project client as they are both multi-platform, but I give Gizmo the edge as they have a Linux version too, and that plays nicely with the ASUS eee PC as another endpoint strategy that many mobile operators are chasing. The breaking of ranks by a mobile operator into VOIP big time will signal a rush of interest into Fixed Mobile Convergence.

2. If Skype goes more open with SIP, their first play would be with the cable MSOs.
