VoIP is taking off.(BLOGS)

In his On Rad's Radar, Peter Radizeski of RAD-INFO, Inc writes:

Although there have been analysts who think that IP Lines will slow down, I have to think that in the economic reality we are facing, the distributed workforce, the tele-worker, and the mobility of employees, more and more lines will move to VoIP. For cost savings as well as productivity reasons.

If lines do slow down it will be due to the following reasons:

* Layoffs--less employees = less lines needed

* Mobility means less landlines needed

* E-mail, social networks, IM/chat, texting is replacing phone calls

* Overall trend for less phone calls

There are so many reasons for small and medium businesses (and self-employed persons) to migrate to VoIP that I don't see it being stagnant for long.
