In the never-ending quest to squeeze additional revenues from their
infrastructure, cable companies have launched a full scale blitz on business
markets. Telcos - which have long considered the small and medium business
markets their exclusive domains - now are contending with the CableCo assault
and competition from a variety of upstart hosted service providers that are
providing enhanced VoIP services into this hotly contested market.
In a new research study, Insight's analysis reveals that more than three
million small and medium businesses are geographically located within two-way
capable cable systems, a veritable gold mine of captive customers for cable
MSOs. By factoring in home-based businesses as well, the near-term opportunity
created by this market is well in excess of 20 million lines.
This report analyzes enhanced VoIP services that are made possible by today's
technology - not just telephony, but complete suites of unified communications
geared and priced for the unique business requirements of SMEs. Insight
quantifies the SME addressable market opportunity by vertical industry for
VoIP and unified communications hosted services, and measures the competitive
risk they pose to the incumbent telephone carriers.

such as, 8x8, Aptela, Fonality, and Nextiva to target the small business
market. These emerging companies are providing virtual PBX/VoIP services with
enhanced features into this hotly contested lower end of the business segment
