The telecom killer-app: Voice
ITU Strategy and Policy Unit Newslog - Voice Revenues in the Telecommunications reports on the status of telecom voice use.
Voice is still going strong and so ubiquitous that I sense service providers somehow have "leaped it over" and seemingly forgotten that a voice-based service might be much more interesting and accessible to consumers than data-based such. Sure, there are lots of voice-based services around, but not much innovation as far as I can see. Silly/simple things like "Today's Dilbert played by famous actors" might become a hit among geeks (do you read my blog, Scott?). Or today's weather perhaps?
Quote: Voice revenue as a percentage of the total remains stable, while the traffic generated by users has doubled.
Check out the PowerPoint too ("complete presentation").
