Multichannel News: VoIP Will Save Billions
Multichannel News: McSlarrow: Cable VoIP Saves Billions
"Consumers could save more than $60 billion in five years by switching to voice-over-Internet-protocol calling services offered by cable operators, according to an analysis of a recent J.D. Power & Associates survey by cable's top Washington lobbyist.
In a speech Wednesday, National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow said J.D. Power found that cable VoIP customers were paying $11.19 less per month that consumers taking traditional phone service. He added that assuming that 100 million homes signed up for VoIP, the five-year savings would exceed $60 billion."

You really hit it (savings) right on the head. I recently signed up for a VOIP service for $199 for a year -- all inclusive. I did have to bring my own broadband. I think the hardest thing will be that people will be resistant to join in until it becomes a little more mainstream and commonplace.
