January 31, 2003Internet Phone Number fight in the USAI read this article yesterday, and I was struck by the rate of change in the telecommunications world. There will be battles over assiging phone numbers, I am sure, but traditional phone companies have already lost the war with packet-switched Internet services. What I find interesting is that Japan may be ahead of the US is accepting Internet Telephony. From the media reports that I get, it seems that the Japanese public feels ready to embrace this fundamental change in communications technology. In any case, my prediction is that any local phone service providers that do not offer IP phones will be out of business in 5 years. Posted by cyrus at January 31, 2003 11:50 AM | T r a c k B a c k |
