Cable Operators Aiming for a Slice of the Small Business Hosted VoIP Services Market, Says ABI Research.NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- Faced with near-saturation of residential markets, cable operators are starting to go after a slice of the market in hosted VoIP services for small businesses.

"Cable companies have a lot of fiber capacity available in their urban and suburban networks," explains principal analyst Michael Arden Michael Jerrod Moore (born October 6 1982), also known as Michael Arden, is an American stage actor, singer, and composer. He was born in Midland, Texas and currently resides in New York. . "The cores of these networks are fairly free of bottlenecks, and operators have realized that they can target small businesses largely using existing resources, and at relatively little added expense." Virtually all cable operators in North America, even smaller regional players, have plans to move in this direction. Voice service is usually bundled with Internet access, and sometimes with storage network or VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. services. "Offering VoIP and related services to small businesses is one way for the cable operators to undercut the telecom companies," says Arden. "To serve small businesses, they are devising solutions that scale down easily, unlike telcos which must offer solutions which scale so large that they're often inefficient and uneconomical at the small end." Arden cautions, however, that equipment vendors can expect limited windfalls from this trend: much of the core infrastructure is already in place, and added deployments will mainly be restricted to connecting new business customers to the fiber that passes through their neighborhoods.
