The grapevine has it that Vonage is turning into Wireless Vonage. That means Vonage would be providing wireless services like to that of T-Mobile’s HotSpot@ Home service.
There is no surprise to see Vonage offering Wireless services since it has been in tie up with EarthLink. Under the deal, it has been reselling WiFi services.
Now, Vonage has geared up to become a Mobile Virtual Operator (MVNO) during the end of 2007. It seems to be an interesting proposition!
Earlier this month, Vonage declared its fourth quarter result of 2006. The report was a grim reminder of the fact that company has failed to attract a substantial number of customers towards its VoIP services. For which, it conceded heavy loss despite aggressive marketing strategy.
The company plans to strength its position in the VoIP market by offering WiFi services. However, it is not as easy as it seems. The recognized players like ESPN, Helio and Amp’d have failed miserably in the past in the WiFi business.
