It is anticipated by the Gartner Group that 50% of mobile voice traffic will be carried using end-to-end VoIP by 2019. To make the situation little bit difficult for traditional mobile voice providers, Gartner said that 30 percent of mobile voice traffic will be initiated or terminated through third-party mobile portals such as Google, Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo, which will adopt wireless VoIP service as a part of their basic features.
This would further initiate a competing spirit amongst the portals with mobile providers, resellers and mobile virtual network operators in the mobile voice space, though perhaps primarily as providers of in-group and in-community communications between community members.
We see networking sites like Facebook and Orkut are already allowing their customers to upload pics from their cellphones to their profiles similarly making VoIP calls would be hail by them.
Now the question that comes to my mind is, can mobile VoIP be able to replace text messaging and e-mailing in the long run, what do you say?
