NCTA: Cable VoIP Saves Billions

NCTA: CABLE VOIP SAVES BILLIONS
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
The National Cable & Telecommunications Association claims that, according to its analysis of a JD Power & Associates survey, American consumers could save $ 60 billion if they switched from traditional telephone service to voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) calling services. (That's collectively, of course -- saving $60 billion each would be some sort of record.) In a July survey, JD Power found that cable VoIP customers were paying $ 42.40 per month, while traditional phone customers were paying $ 53.59 for local and long-distance service. NCTA’s consumer savings assumed that cable VoIP pricing would continue to undercut the competition and cable VoIP’s market share would reach 85% (which is sorta a pipe-in-the-mouth projection).
