Erik on The Great White North’s Telcos Views On VoIP

Source: andyabramson.blogs.com

While the USA telcos try and figure out what they want to do with VoIP, how fast they roll it out and what features they want to offer, the Canadian telcos have according to Erik a much more passionate view.

While he’s waiting for the other shoe to drop how the Canadian telcos battle the MSO’s who have broadband over cable to offer, I’ll figure with the bulk of Canadians living in the major metro areas in each Province being targets now, and only Telus and Bell Canada dividing up the POTS business, it won’t be hard for them to roll out the FTTP (fiber to the premise) or to be more inventive and offer WiMax. Sure I’m speculating, but that’s what makes this all fun.
