I sense either some denial of what is coming, or there is a HUGE difference between metropolitan markets and rural. I am sensing the latter leads to the former.
Either way, I agree "traditional telephony" isn't going away any time soon. It still does what is needed, and makes too much financial sense. As well as it is dependable.
However, from a marketing perspective, if you want to be where people are looking for your telephony services, it would be a good idea to do some optimization under VOIP and Business Phones, as the search ratio difference is pretty huge.
I have tried to sell a few "used" phone systems recently for clients and I am shocked at how little they are drawing in offers. A 70 Phone Mitel with Octel Voicemail got no better of an offer than $450.
I was almost embarrassed to present the offer to him, preferring to just suggest he donate it to a non profit organization. Probably get a better tax credit that way.
