Boeing announced plans to drop wireline phones in favor of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. With 157,000 employees and worldwide operations, Boeing is the largest company to adopt the technology. The move is expected to give other companies the confidence to make the switch to VoIP. The swap is expected to take 5-7 years. (Source: Chicago Tribune )
This is fascinating! With all the fights over how to make more money for the government and FCC, how to tax it, how to regulate it, Boeing is making a big statement. This must be at least somewhat of a threatening move to wireline providers. Business customers are such a large portion of their income. I wonder how much effect this will have.
