essentially, on the chart you start at vonage. CallWave services include call screening, call forwarding and voicemail over the Internet and traditional phone networks. It’s business partners aren’t generating new business. Callwave provides dial up internet service. Voiceglo is internet and PC-based phone service. Voiceglo is peer-to-peer, which means you only get to talk to others using Voceglo. Skype is also peer-to-peer, PC based. Skype is free, with some fee based voIP. Skype has considerable difficulty with customer service, barely generates enough to pay costs associated with telecom carriage, and has tons of users (free). Largely but not entirely PC based. Skype may turn into something real; they are innovative and have a niche. As/if it becomes competitive with them, telecoms and cable may take a serious look at what they want to do about Skype. Lots of downloads; doesn't earn Skype a lot of money to pay for and run a business. AT&T has no official numbers, but I've seen approx. 70,000. Not excessive considering AT&T's size. DDDC was not on the list. There is a question as to what SBC (buying AT&T) will do with DDDC. I haven't looked at DDDC subscribers; I guess I have to do that. There is a lot of 'waiting to go into effect' agreements there. Have to see if the one with SBC materializes. Telecoms have chosen DDDC -- that may hinder cable adherents.
