Wireless Cell Phone Provider
What does the future hold for "landline" phone companies??Wireless Cell Phone Provider
It depends on their ability to adapt to the changing market. Some will adopt or hedge against new technologies or find other services that can be delivered over their legacy (invest in new) infrastructure that will add margin to their accounts.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
The residential market has been deflationary for years. Carriers have seen price erosion due to competition, Wireless Cell Phone Providercompetiting technologies (cell phones, email, VoIP). Verizon for example has found a new market to compete in, offerring television services as well as voice and internet, assumably increasing revenue per customer and margins (once the fiber is paid off). Sprint has more than offset huge landline losses Wireless Cell Phone Providerwith wireless sales
The SMB and Enterprise markets have seen similar deflationary forces for years. They have seen new Wireless Cell Phone Providertechnologies like email and cell phones as well as VoIP, WAN technologies, etc, lower the average revenue per customer significantly as we all as decrease margins. However, you see many respond by adding professional services, managed services and other high margin, value-added services to their portfolios.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
Some carriers will not respond appropriately to the changes in the marketplace, and will be acquired for their customer bases, network or geographic presence.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
Additionally, technologies need to evolve and become more stable before land lines can disappear. For example, land lines are still preferred for faxing, alarms and inexpensive redundancy as technology still limits alternative means.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
Ten years might be a little too aggressive a timeframe to expect to see them disappear, but you may not recognize the companies that are selling them compared to the way they look today.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
By now most telcos have come to the conclusion that telephony is evolving and IP telephony, whether over landline or mobile will be the norm in the next 2-3 years. As for the landline itself, it represents a significant investment in infrastructure, one which has, in most cases, already paid for itself, so the net return is high and warmly welcome. Its future rests with its ability to deliver competitive broadband services, and with VDSL2 can deliver around 50Mbs. This is enough (so far) to deliver IP telephony, some IPTV and reasonable broadband services with QoS.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
There is the belief that Mobile services will overtake the humble landline, but the technology is not yet fully developed and there is the constant problem of lack of available spectrum. (not to mention those who think we will all end up glowing in the dark). For these reasons, as well as the additional cost of delivering data over radio, most telcos are busily running fibre services as quickly as they can.Meantime, at least for the next 10 years, Wireless Cell Phone Providerlandlines (copper) will remain the cheapest and easiest means of delivering reasonable speed broadband services.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
Fixed-line telephony companies - at least some of them - will be around for a very long time to come.
Yes, consumers and business now have a vast array of choices for their telecommunications needs. Disruptive technologies like VoIP and Wireless are changing the markets forever. Call and access prices on these services are dropping rapidly while hard lines remains somewhat expensive.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
And yet...Wireless Cell Phone Provider
There is an unimaginable amount of copper in the ground, all over the world, which represents a massive infrastructure investment. And it generally works really well. We can be certain that those who own the copper will find ways of ensuring it continues to generate revenue for them. Just dropping call costs enough would do it, as will the advent of new services which could be delivered over existing landline connections.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
However ... what really happens next is anones guess.Wireless Cell Phone Provider
