Abstract
Voice over IP (VoIP) is the most potentially disruptive telephony technology
since the birth of the industry, changing every aspect of making and
delivering phone calls. Many traditional telecom carriers today transport all
of their long-distance voice traffic over IP connections. Some companies
deliver phone calls over the Internet for free. Others offer residential or
business voice services that function like traditional phone services, but
just happen to travel over the Internet. An increasing number of hosted VoIP
services are making premises-based phone systems unnecessary for smaller
businesses. IP phone systems have become the norm in enterprises.
Such developments have already made VoIP a mainstream communication
technology. But while there have been some truly radical advances, VoIP
services - in what we may consider the first phase of VoIP innovation - have
largely emulated traditional phone service. As a result, VoIP' s disruption of
the traditional telecom services business has to date been far less dramatic
than many expected.
That first phase has ended, and a more dynamic second phase is now underway.
The last few years have seen the development of new kinds of VoIP services
with great potential to disrupt the telecom market. In this phase, innovators
are attempting more deliberately to undermine the technical and commercial
models of traditional telephony.
The changes wrought by VoIP technology transform the dynamics of the market in
ways that provide a significant opportunity to lessen incumbents' commercial
dominance.
These changes include:
- Decentralization or virtualization of application delivery.
Because applications and services can serve users from anywhere, there is no
need to have nationwide or global infrastructure to be a nationwide or global
provider. This drastically lowers the cost of entry into the telecom services
market.
- Democratization of application development and delivery. The fact
that developers and providers no longer have to buy, or gain access to,
switching platforms costing millions of dollars opens the telephony business
to a far broader range of potential providers.
- Hybridization and integration of applications and services,
allowing developers to make voice one part of larger and more complex
services, rather than a standalone service.
- Enrichment of applications and services. Because IP connections can
deliver various types of data along with the basic voice packets, providers
can offer rich services that incorporate everything from universal presence
detection to HD voice to integrated video.
However, the extent to which innovative new VoIP services will actually
disrupt the telephony market remains far from certain. Incumbent providers
still have substantial means to resist such disruption - in part by turning
technological innovations to their own advantage.
Disruptive VoIP Services: What Carriers Need to Know first clarifies
how the concept of disruption applies to the impact of VoIP innovation on the
telecom services market. It catalogs the advances that VoIP brings to
traditional telephony models, practices, and concepts, then categorizes the
innovative VoIP services with the most disruptive potential. It also
identifies the economic and commercial forces that will influence the impact
of VoIP innovation and projects a number of specific results that this
combination of factors will produce.
