Well I’ll be……..Google has entered into VOIP and Chat with their Beta Google Talk.

For a long time I have been saying it will take a company like Google to get VOIP moving and while it is only the beginning, I can see huge ramifications for Incumbent Phone companies once Google get this thing moving. Not only because of the popularity of Google but just as much for getting this relatively new technology into the homes of many countries psyche.

The problem with VOIP is that all media is refined pretty much to technology magazines and newspaper liftouts and not front page news. Google will change all of that and it will have Telstra worried, maybe they might have to do something about it sooner rather than later by at least talking up VOIP for home users, hoping customers will wait for their service.

To use Google talk you will need an existing Gmail Account and I can tell you there would be millions of users out there within the first month. I will write another article about this in a months time and see how it is progessing.

Many of you might not of heard of a company called Avaya, but for any real estate agency that has more than one office, you will hear alot more of them in the near future.

Any telephone company in Australia that traditionally makes its money by phone line rentals and local and national calls is in big trouble, if figures from the United States are anything to go by. It is reported a company that goes by the name of VONAGE is signing up 60,000 customers per month!

If you think there are many companies in Australia that make money out of this your are dead wrong. There is only one - Telstra.
