Literally Every-Body is Selling VOIP

It seems like every day there are many, many, many announcements of people jumping into the VOIP arena. Here are some just from today via IPtelephony.org:

• AbsoluteIP Introduces Small Business IP PBX
• Teltronics Introduces IP PBX for Small Businesses
• Junction Networks Launches Hosted IP PBX
• NBS Launches Wholesale VoIP in the U.S. for Resi
• ViaTalk Offering Wholesale VoIP Service Solution in the U.S.
• Rogers to Offer Hosted VoIP to Small Businesses in Canada
• PacNet Rolling Out VoIP to SMBs in Asia Pacific

It all the same stuff. No one is differentiating or adding any gizmos or refinements that would be a stand-out. Remarkable? Hardly. In fact, the wholesale offerings are probably due to the fact that the retail space was too difficult to market to. (How do you successfully market nationwide against Vonage's $1M per month coupled with the MSO and ILEC advertising full-court press?) BTW, Rogers is doing what SipStorm tried. That will be a disaster!
