It's been an interesting 10 days or so for those of us who follow the mobile VoIP market with news from Vonage, T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T-- along with a warning from the FCC chairman about a looming scarcity of spectrum needed for future wireless applications. Today, we'll cover news from Vonage and T-Mobile.\
Vonage has introduced launched Vonage Mobile, its first mobile calling application for smartphones. Vonage Mobile is a free downloadable application that provides seamless, low-cost international calling while on Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Once downloaded, the service saves customers more than 50% on calls to dozens of countries versus the international calling rates charged by wireless carriers while providing far more convenience than prepaid calling cards.
By offering smartphone users mobile access to the Vonage international long distance network over a cellular or Wi-Fi connection,
the company can expand its customer base while maintaining low acquisition costs. The service is paid for by a credit or debit
card, so billing and device costs to Vonage are minimal. The move also positions Vonage as a software-based service provider,
expanding its business model that relies on hardware-based VoIP gateways, previously confined to residential wireline use.
