VOIP will lead to the end of home telephone in Europe, according to two reports by JupiterResearch.

According to JupiterResearch, VOIP is preferred by 17% of consumers in Europe. 21% consumers are interested in diverting calls from their home telephone to a mobile phone.

Ian Fogg, senior analyst at JupiterResearch and author of the reports, said: “Broadband Internet access is powering this transformation of the home telephone. But broadband threatens to become a Trojan horse as it enables mobile operators and Internet competitors — like Skype, Tesco, Vonage, and Microsoft — to compete with traditional telephone companies and Internet Service Providers.” [SOURCE]

The reports, titled “Independent Internet Telephony ““ Build Consumer VOIP Propositions on Services, Not Just in Price” and “The Instant Messaging Presence Platform” explain how location will no more be important for making or receiving phone calls.

The “Independent Internet Telephony” report is priced at $1,500 and “The Instant Messaging Presence Platform” report is priced at $750.

JupiterResearch is a provider of research, analysis and advice on the Internet and emerging consumer technologies.
