Skype versus Vonage, who's the real VoIP Icon

It’s interesting to point out one quote versus another quote.

EBay Says:

 

"People are going to look at voice communications as something they expect to get for free," said Henry Gomez, general manager of Skype, which eBay bought last year for $2.6 billion.

Vonage Says:

"Voice calls will never be totally free," said Jeffrey Citron, the founder and chairman of Vonage, the largest Internet phone provider, with 1.6 million customers. "If you want voice mail, you pay. If you want a phone number, you pay. Suddenly, free is $15."

Internet-based calling is not new, but the momentum behind it is growing. In 2005, the number of

U.S.

subscribers to Internet-based services nearly tripled from the year before, to 5.5 million, or about 3 percent of the overall market.

I personally would like to see Gomez v.s. Citron, it would be an interesting debate. Aren’t they both quoting the complete opposite to each other, or are they?

On the other hand, Global VoIP revenues are expected to be $3.3 billion USD in 2010, and eBay bought Skype for $2.6 billion. Everyone thought eBay over paid, something tells me they are just on track to becoming the biggest visionary Dotcom in our living history.

Have you bought eBay stock for your children?
