Perceived QoS (3) Telephone-telephone B-brand telephony • Two stage dialling is not a problem • Lesser voice quality for 25-30% cheaper
Perceived QoS (4) • With very low speech quality price, cheaper is no longer relevant • Gartner: Organisations that fail to take into account the hidden costs of VoIP will find these will increase the total implementation costs by an average of 200 percent (0.8 probability) • Purchase of extra WAN bandwidth • PABX need to be equipped with extra coupling to the Intranet • Router network will be effected
Perceived QoS (5) • Lower price (50% cheaper) triggers initial use but there will be no sustainable use • Forrester: Interviewed 2500 managers globally and concluded that users where overwhelming satisfied with price and performance of the public telephone network. There is a need of a good economic case!
