Cutting the PSTN Out
Cluecon 2012, Chicago
• Still reliant on PSTN into VoIP network • VoIP cheaper – no interconnect/CABs • VoIP higher quality • VoIP allows “OTT” functions
• Ideal is for contacts, not numbers
• But… PSTN still has huge usage • Small businesses • Consumers with no interest in smartphones or the internet
Solution…

Conclusion.
Cluecon 2012, Chicago
Conclusion • VoIP is all around us! • Tier 1 carriers now behind VoIP (SIP) • Consumers using more and more VoIP products whilst
being unaware that what they are using is VoIP • Who cares about VoIP
– I do! – We do! – End users don’t!
