Jeff Pulver as I know is one of the smart bloggers of the current IP industry. I went through his 2007 predictions for IP Communications Industry. In fact, Pulvers predictions are based on minimal of biasness or no bias.
Jeff has strongly argued,
While the hype surrounding Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) will grow during 2007, the FMC marketplace will continue to stagnate until such time that software becomes widely available for dual model phones that offer seamless roaming across unaffiliated wifi/wimax hotspots.
Highlights
1.Enterprises to amalgamate their communication networks
2.Growth will persist in IP Peering between service providers.
3.The PSTN to turn into the IP-based public communications network of the future.
4.Cable Operators to apply new solutions to connect their voice subscribers to 3G Mobile Networks
5.Rise of Independent voice over broadband service providers
6.IP TV will dominate year 2007.
7.Legal hassles in the field of digital rights and copyright protection seems to be resolved
In conclusion Jeff says,
Although regulators and legislators will begin to better appreciate the power of IP technology to dramatically improve emergency response and disabilities access capabilities, Lobbyists and Policymakers and traditional telecom and video providers in the US will continue to try to apply legacy rules and regulations on Internet based applications, be it voice, television or radio. See the first significant regulator attempts to regulate indecency and other content on the Internet.
