SOYO Broadband Telephony, has joined the VoIP party with Z-Connect. The company says that with it products, “all users need to do is plug SOYO’s Z-Connect telephone, router or gateway into a broadband connection and immediately begin saving money on telephone bills. With the Z-Connect service, there are zero set-up fees, zero monthly fees, zero service contracts, zero software set-up and zero hidden charges.” And Zero profits? Soyo’s first two products are Z-Connect AVRO 3001 VoIP Router and the Z-Connect G668 IP Phone.
Of course they will make money on both outgoing (per minute) and incoming (per month) calls from/to PSTN. Skype clone? Shudder the thought.
ha ha – well said aswath. i am getting a wee bit tired of all these annoucements but no discussion about making money. someone please tell me how are all these guys going to make money.
Every 2 bit entrepeneur, fresh with investor’s cash from their calling card days is starting a voip company. One day they hear about vonage and the next day they write a dubious business plan to be bigger than vonage. To them voip is an idea, they have no clue how hard it really is.
