Nearly Half of Quebec Uses VoIP

Nearly Half of Quebec Uses VoIP

The number of traditional phone systems being used by Canadians in Quebec is dwindling at a very quick pace. In 2006, 16 percent of phone systems there were cable- or internet-based. In 2007, that number more nearly tripled to 44 percent. The study, by Leger Marketing, was a surprise since VoIP only became available in most areas of Quebec in 2005. Impressive.

According to The Canadian Press:

“Eventually everything is going to be VoIP,” said Jon Arnold, a VoIP analyst and principal of J Arnold and Associates.

“It’s going to be a long time before that happens and the telecom companies…will want to milk the land-line business as long as they can.”

But as the technology becomes more popular, legacy providers could face serious competition from smaller, more innovative providers.
