The Bottom Line on Voice: Drilling into the Economics of IP Telephony
IP Voice promises to provide a critical boost to cable’s cash flow in the near future, taking high-speed data’s place as the primary driver of growth. Rounding out the triple play with the addition of IP voice will also enable MSOs to compete more effectively against satellite and the RBOCs while providing some relief to the industry’s endemic problem of subscriber defection. We will explore the overall opportunity for cable in the residential telephony market, the marginal economics and returns associated with various VoIP solutions and how the proliferation of voice will affect cable valuations.
