… On the future of the pure-play VoIP business model

I dont see how far it can go there is no future.
Stéphane Téral, Infonetics Research principal analyst 

Its not going to be these pure-play providers who bring VoIP into the mainstream marketplace.
Mike Paxton, In-Stat principal analyst for consumer services

Im not sure that a pure-play company, just because it uses VoIP, can be strong enough or reach enough customers to make it viable.
Sally Cohen, Forrester Research consumer VoIP and broadband analyst
