VoIP phone price war

The booming market for phone calls using Internet technology has created a bonanza for Cisco Systems and other makers of telecommunications equipment, but aggressive pricing could squeeze profits.

According to a Reuters story, VoIP phone prices now average around $250 per set. For some budget-conscious enterprises, that could be a barrier to use.

But perhaps not for long. The same article foresees that aggressive price promotions from well-capitalized VoIP phone manufacturers such as Cisco Systems could push prices even lower. How low is a subject of contention.

AND HOW ABOUT ALL THOSE SMALL PLAYER IN THE FIELD?
