Summary

Skype Launch for iPhone Official, just announced
Skype set to launch mVoIP with Blackberry

Two brand new headlines just announced.

Latest news Skype for sale?: Reports that the VoIP market leader Skype is up for sale on eBay have resurfaced in the market again. Will eBay offload the Skype from its portfolio? Is it acceptable for the eBay to sell Skype - its most valuable asset? - an analysis of the scenario is presented inside this report.

Google Voice

Google has stepped up the launch of Google Voice - which is perceived as threat to traditional networks and over-the-top market providers like Skype. An overview of what Google Voice and how does it work is available in the report.

BT to launch mobile VoIP

BT Inmo, a wholly owned subsidiary of BT, has bought a licence to globally market and sell mobile VoIP, based on a solution from the US firm Qnective. It is developing a mobile VoIP solution set for BT Global Services, which it will base on Qnective's Qtalk products.

Skype's launch of its VoIP client for the Apple iPhone, and plans for another launch on the RIM's Blackberry platform in 2009, are the latest developments in the implementation of VoIP services on mobile phones, a market which has grown in importance recently.

The introduction of 3G handsets and smartphones in the market and deployment of 3G and 4G network technologies have raised the prospects for all stakeholders of the telecoms industry, providing equal opportunities for growth for callable companies, traditional fixed-line operators, mobile operators, over-the-top market vendors and third-party application developers. The IP-convergence/substitution has made multi-service offerings in a unified communication environment possible; telecoms operators can now diversify their business from one area to a number of areas, where the mobile phone has emerged as a central device to connect end-users.

mVoIP is now lining up to challenge the established technologies with the introduction of products and services that meet the needs of modern business and technology savvy consumers. Consequently, service providers are aggressively looking for ways to offer mVoIP to consumers.

In the enterprise and SMB markets, IP-based and hosted IP telephony services are gaining in importance and are replacing TDM based products, ultimately leading to a complete take over. On the vendor side, traditional PBX vendors are being forced to develop products that are based on IP technology.

Enterprise solutions are to provide the first commercially relevant mobile VoIP business. IP-based corporate PBX systems are already common, and mobile-only systems hold significantly less market share.

Although there is some resistance so far by the mobile network operators to adoption of the VoIP on their networks, but deployment of the 4G technologies -WiMAX and LTE - in the near future is set to change the game for them as well. VoIP is expected to offer mobile operators significant business opportunity by allowing them to harness three powerful characteristics:

they can cut infrastructure costs and service charges to better compete with fixed operators,
they can expand their coverage by supporting access from WLAN access points, and
they an offer richer communications services to their users.

The main players

With a nationwide spread of Internet, all players in the telecoms sector - long distance and local telephone companies, cellular operators, cable providers - are embracing IP-based services. The idea is to offer converged data, landline voice, mobile and video on a single platform from a single provider. Broadband and mobile internet is playing a key role in delivering of this 'triple-play' and now quad-play idea. The market will be dominated by three types of players:

IT companies
Cable companies
Wireline carriers
Wireless carriers
mVoIP entrants
Application developers
Content providers
Consumers (commercial and individuals)

What does this innovative brand new report deliver?

Implementation of VoIP on mobile:

There are more than one ways to access VoIP on mobile phone. Is mVoIP to be a voice service, running over the DSL/ broadband IP network, on a mobile phone?
