VoIP Forum

Recent industry reports suggest that hosted VoIP services have grown and carved a niche in the U.S. telecommunications segment. The service of Comcast  and other cable companies have, to an extent, helped drive the VoIP momentum in the country.

Nationwide Telecom has launched a number of wholesale and reseller program, managed partitioning services, and end-to-end contact center solutions. Recently the company announced it is encouraging resellers to gain from their services and reap the best ROI. With the new plan, resellers can generate additional recurring revenue from their client base by reselling the services to them on their brand.

VoIP landscape in the U.S has been ruled by cable companies and non-facilities based VoIP services providers such as Skype. The VoIP services market is also buoyed by the entry of bigshot companies like Microsoft  and Apple along with Internet giants Google and Yahoo!, Nationwide Telecom said. As the latest trend, some VoIP network providers have started building unique, integrated business communications solution with the availability of SMS along with its IP phone service. Nationwide Telecom thinks that the future belongs to such innovations. The company is planning to roll out new features like these in the future.

While Enterprise VoIP services are  a relatively new trend and the next big thing in the market, analysts believe that there might be some technology hurdles to clear.

Another area of VoIP where strong growth is expected is Mobile VoIP services. The increase in use of WiFi enabled handsets will result in explosive growth of Mobile VoIP. 3G networks and the WiMAX network, on which the major carriers are planning to upgrade to an open access LTE  platform especially for investing in 4G, is sure to propel mobile VoIP services into the limelight of telecom, according to research reports.
