The Media Phone Has Arrived!
The term media phone has not yet appeared on most people’s radar screens. But that is soon to change. In early 2009, incumbent service providers around the world will rollout media phones in consumer markets. The media phone entry into business markets will not be far behind.
The media phone is a new category of broadband device that combines the power of the PC with the performance of a telephone. The result is an always-on multimedia broadband device that is perfect for accessing online news and weather, viewing videos, and a host of other applications. In-Stat believes that the media phone will complement the PC, TV, and mobile handset, becoming an indispensable 4th screen in the home.
Service providers and IP PBX vendors, alike, are introducing media phones because they add value to traditional voice telephones and related services. This report examines the market for media phones in both the consumer and business markets. It dives into product requirements, as well as critical commercial policy issues.
