Om Malik at GigaOm breaks the story about Cablevision creating a one price bundle of VoIPm cable and high speed Internet all for $90.00.
Compared to what I’m paying here in San Diego with Cox, plus Vonage or Call Vantage that is a 50 percent savings and worth serious consideratiion if Cablevision is your cable company and their IP telephony service is as good as CallVantage *AND* offers all the same features.
While the VoIP pure plays may offer more features and be the “second” line in many homes, the cable operators may start to seriously take a piece of the local Bell companies accounts.
I can hear Judge Greene more and more everyday, and this market sector will get very hot by the end of the summer nationwide.
This is just the beginning. I’d be surprised if this wasn’t the norm say 10 years from now. Voice will be free or nearly free.
