Big Vendor Buys In…
Lucent releases study confirming SIPquest target market.
From the IP Pulse newsletter received February 13, 2006:
Lucent Technology has published "Converged Services Survey," a report detailing the market potential for U.S. carriers offering IP-based services over IMS networks. The study is based on survey responses and related business modeling. The vendor concludes the U.S. market for IP-based services is worth nearly $10 billion a year, with business VoIP representing $5.6 billion and consumer services representing $4.2 billion.
The vendor suggests that the early target market for IP services incudes road warriors, customer service reps at mid-sized companies, older professionals, and especially power users and young people.
Power users are supposedly going to be interested in network based call forwarding, conference call transcripts and shared data updated alerts.
