I went to the Philstar.com website but didn’t find a soft copy of it. However, it definitely is in the print version. Anyway, to get straight to the point, the article says that Voice-over-IP over WiFi (which I will from this moment on call VoWiFi) is definitely an interesting piece of new technology but will face fierce resistance from the incumbent mobile network operators. The scenario the MNOs probably fear is the one I presented in my previous blog on a purely IP-based Mobile Network Operator. Some provider will might take this opportunity to create a wireless voice overlay using all IP-based components.

The ingredients are falling into place faster than I have imagined possible. Today, WiFi calling is simply an alternative. It cannot possibly provide the range and coverage needed to become a full MNO. However, when a more pervasive mobile WiMAX is introduced. Market dynamics will definitely have to change.
