Packet8, Allo.com, and Comcast also get dinged by customers who can't get them to provide decent VoIP or customer service,' Cringe reports in Eat packets, VoIP boy.

According to a new report by Infonetics Research, the global VoIP services market reached $15.8 billion last year, an increase of 66 percent over 2005, and is on track to triple to $48.9 billion by 2010. That hardly sounds like the VoIP revolution has ended, as we claimed a few days ago. It sounds, in fact, more like the said revolution is just getting under way. But the story behind the numbers turns out not to be about radical change. Globally as well as in the U.S., VoIP is no longer a revolutionary force. It has become, rather, just another product of large, conservative corporations....

How the VoIP Revolution Ended
The dream of VoIP revolution went like this: VoIP phones in every home (or at least, every home with a broadband connection, which would soon be almost the same thing).

And challengers like independent VoIP pioneer Vonage becoming the next IPO megastars, the ones Wall Street hacks would predict were going to hit 1,000 in a year or so....
