What Consumer Wants Simple
Moving Forward w/ HD Voice • Standard Def only 20% of your voice • Take rate is slow getting better • I like it and use it • Starts path to even higher quality voice • FCC asks for comments on a move to all IP • ATT talking all IP
Moving Forward w/ HD Voice • FreeConferenceCallHD.com • HD Peering • HD Voice Transcoding • HD Carrier • HD Voice over 4G
Consumer and HD Voice • Consumer wants to be completely connected • Consumer is willing to pay for voice service • Quality matters • Security matters • Interoperability will have to happen • I think there will be a new revenue models
My Two Cents • Voice as an application is FREE? • Settlements $ • Transcoding $ • Application rates $ (texting or LEC billing) • Consumer desire for quality may mean $ • Is it more than just free peering of networks?
The Wind Up • Keep an open mind on HD connectivity • Put the consumer first • Make sure your 2010 purchases include HD • Buy a Wyde Soft Bridge this year • Use FreeConferenceCall.com
