Description
This IDC study examines the market potential for consumer telephony as provided by cable MSOs.

In addition, this study provides an assessment of the drivers and inhibitors of demand for cable telephony services as well as actionable advice regarding deployment and marketing strategies. "Although features enabled by next-generation technology will differentiate voice products, voice telephony is a commodity market.
