VoIP Price War Declared
gardel writes "Voxilla reports that a VoIP price war was declared today. An announcement that AT&T would drop its prices for its CallVantage Service from $34.99 to $29.99 per month was followed quickly by an announcement that Vonage would drop the price on its unlimited calling plan to $25 a month from the previous $29.99.
Analysts say the price cuts show the VoIP market is not only competitive, but it's serious."
Has anyone used Voxilla or AT&T's VoIP services?
Any reason why someone would pay want to pay more for AT&T?
bug.gd: error search engine. Humanity working together to solve all errors.
$25/mo? Lets see Walmart offer VoIP.. I'm sure they could make it go lower.. then we'd really see the masses come... Heck, why not have Walmart take over the world? They might be able to lower the price of earth.
Two companies dropped prices by five bucks, the Price War officially considered declared, film at eleven!
Personally, I'm against all this competition.
What is clearly needed here is for the government to step in and start dividing up different areas of the country and assigning monopolies to the various telecom companies. I think we can all attest to the wonderful customer service and prices that a government sanctioned localized monopoly provides.
They have invented them. They're called cell phones.
I think I'll wait until the "Stalingrad" phase of the price war before I switch over.
I just hope I have enough ammo to shoot the fire out.
Nope. But a gun is faster way of handling most emergencies.
My first reaction is: like heart attacks?
But then, it does work for those! Makes the problem go away, in any case.
Don't call 911, call me! I'll come over and watch, maybe I even bring some beer. I don't want to miss someone trying to shoot out a fire, from a safe distance.
Note to self: bring binoculars along.
