Cable companies scramble for their piece of increasing VoIP market
San Francisco, California June 15, 2006: The demand for VoIP service and equipment increased dramatically in the first quarter of 2006. According to a recent Infonetics report, CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) sales jumped 30% from the previous quarter to a high of $257 M. This is due to a combination of increased demand from multiple service operators, pushing VoIP services as well as cable companies scrambling to compete with telecom giants to increase bandwidth capacity and support the rising demand for communication alternatives.
Already branded as ?Digital Phone,? cable companies are looking to grow existing demand for VoIP services as more people are seeking cheaper ways to communicate. Technologies such as SIP, short for Session Initiated Protocol can establish sessions for features such as audio/videoconferencing, interactive gaming, and call forwarding to be deployed over IP networks, thus enabling service providers to integrate basic IP telephony services with Web, e-mail, and chat services. With SIP protocols, MSOs will be able to merge this technology to existing cable modems, enabling an easier transition to digital phone service. In addition, SIP is being developed for both wired and wireless services; cable companies are looking at this protocol as a potential next-generation technology for integrating VoIP into users experience. This may spell trouble for the smaller VoIP providers as the large Telco?s and cable providers look to enter the market with a bang.
While the MSOs are competing to bring digital phone to the market, Cisco is emerging as the far and away leader in this exciting market. According to figures from the first quarter, Cisco Systems currently provides over 60% of the ports and equipment (VoIP Gateways, switches) used in VoIP networks today. These increases in market share are prompting companies like Motorola to explore the possibilities of telephony service. This would allow Motorola to leverage their wireless phone service to utilize VoIP technology to recognize a users mobile phone and enable mobile service when it makes a connection with a wireless fidelity gateway. With the ever-increasing demand for communication alternatives, VoIP technology seems poised to become the backbone for the emerging digital phone revolution.
