Daniel Berininger has a comparison piece over on Om Malik’s blog on the similarities of Vonage and MCI. Its an interesting piece, with interesting comments as well.
Though I would love to cheer for the underdog, I still think Vonage will not end up being a powerful competitor in the voice market. There are simply too many other options for voice solutions which I’ve talked about before.
Most people will end up using mobile phones only, others will switch to their cable company offerings, many more will simply stick with whatever former RBOC they already have, and finally others will simply use some type of free voice offering from the likes of Skype, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and others.
Sorry folks, VOIP is where its at for landlines, its just that Vonage isn’t the heir appearent.
