UK VoIP market broadens

Tesco has shut its VoIP traffic supporting VoIP service, creating a space in the market for a dedicated VoIP retailer.

A Tesco spokesperson told PC Pro: "We found Tesco customers weren’t really using it and taking it up. We launched the service quite a while ago now and technology and communications have moved forward a long way."

Either through poor marketing or poor targeting the service is being closed. This will create space on both the local infrastructure and on a national level for the deployment of a further, more advanced, VoIP solution.

With sprawling companies like Tesco moving away from VoIP, consumers will receive major dividends in the form of increased service from a VoIP provider, which will step into the VoIP traffic vacuum left by Tesco's departure.
