One of my friends, working in a big Finnish company, told me with enthusiasm in her voice that she has just made a first VOIP call. Since that she has only used VOIP calls when calling her business parners. Actually, she told that in their company using VOIP calls is encouraged and she even got a shrt training for using the VOIP system.

My dear friend is not maybe the first one to adopt new technologies (not the creator or lead user but maybe an early adopter), but when she does, I certainly know that the change is coming in couple of years. My friend told me that many people from their company have abandoned using SIM cards in their internet phones and just call VOIP calls. We had a short discussion with my friend that what are the business logics and opportunities for the operators in some years to come. We agreed that in the future mobile phone manufacturing will probably be focusing more on manufacturing portable internet tablets, but what will the operators do that remains a mystery.
