According to PR Leap, Damaka is launching a video mail as a part of its existing VOIP/IPTV application. The press release can be found here
In my opinion, this will be a trend with many companies in the next couple of years. VOIP isnt everything about providing a solution, neither forcing users to watch videos to pay for their dialout account is gonna work (e.g Globe 7) in the long run.
Today's user want to see something beyond, something that will integrate everything under one roof. Remember Yahoo Pager initially gained a huge success but yahoo has to integrate many features to convert it to a messenger. We need the same change in VOIP space. The future is all about integrating various services under one application.
The primary focus of the application will always be VOIP, however it will provide a host of other services like a feature rich Chat interface, IPTV or Peer 2 Peer TV (like Sopcast), integrate IM etc. The application will be platform independent and free of supernodes (Read about Skype Supernodes issue)
Imagine, if you could FREE VOIP calls with free TV alongside, will that be cool enuff or we hungry for more?
What you want to see in the forthcoming VOIP IM? Please drop your comments.
