Competitor's Analysis
As mentioned earlier, the telecommunication industry is getting more and more saturated each day. As far as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is concerned, major competition comes from free online communication software such as Skype and social network companies such as Facebook. It has been observed that these freeware applications are getting much more popular especially after their easy interface support by smart phones and tablet gadgets, and user prefer communicating via specialized freeware apps rather than the conventional route. It allows the users of the apps to connect with one another from any destination at very low costs, sometimes even free.. Apart from that, VoIP industry also faces competitive pressures from websites that allow free downloading of pirated material and torrents .

Over the years, telecommunication technology has improved and progressed rapidly all around the globe. Not only developed but the less economically developed countries are also now enjoying the accessibility to the World Wide Web. This has resulted in the increase in globalization and in turn, paved way for the advent of E-commerce. When Ecommerce came took over, there was a notion that it is only going to benefit the B2B sector (Plant, 2000). However, proving the myth wrong, it went on to target the mass consumer market. This became evident when huge online shopping arenas started to spring up all over the internet. From groceries to garments to holiday trips, everything can now be purchased from anywhere in the world in one click. Initially, people were still reluctant to freely give their payment details. Credit card thefts were a serious issue. Then came more secure websites that ensured never like before secured payment options. With Verisign and PayPal entering the cyberspace, online shopping has seen a phenomenal growth (Godwin-Jones, 2005).
While marketing has always been a backbone component of any business plan, marketing methods have also evolved over a period of time. The basic idea behind marketing remains to convince a customer to make a purchasing decision and satisfy his/her want. This involves effective communication of message. The methods of this communication, however, have rapidly changed with the changes in technology. Marketing was once only restricted to print and electronic media. The advent of E-commerce changed the way marketing was done. The evolution though did not stop at the computers. The new advent of smart phones has now added another dimension to how marketing is done.
