Forget about the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, or even the Computer Age; we are now living in the Age of the Bundle!
We are entering the Age of hi-tech bundled services that cater to all our modern communication needs. We are gradually seeing all our services like high-speed Internet, Phone, Fax, Gaming, Radio and TV bundled into one package and one source. All-in-one basic rate for all your communication services.
Your Internet or ISP service has long been bundled or combined with your cable TV service. With the proliferation of so many wireless devices into our daily lives; expect much more bundling in the future and also expect that bundling to go wireless.
Why? Because consumers want it.
According to an Ipsos Study, Americans are ready for bundled communications services with 16% saying they would switch to a bundle service if it included wireless phone service. With just the combination of telephone, television and high-speed Internet around 7% said they would switch.
Welcome to the Battle of the Bundle.
Major Internet providers and major telecom giants are raging a fierce head-on battle for your patronage of their bundled services. Billions are being poured into this battle from big players such as Verizon, Comcast Corp., Bell South, SBC, DirecTV and many more.
The battle is being fought by three major fractions: Cable TV providers, ISP providers and Telephone providers. And the battle is heating up and consumers are reaping the benefits. For some time now, we have seen the steady increase of Broadband or Internet Phone services, offering lower rates and better discounts. This is a new use of Internet technology that is increasing in popularity as more and more customers get Broadband Internet services in their homes.
As our world goes wireless, the use of cell phones and notebook computers are increasing every day. So too are hand-held devices like the Blackberry, further fueling the demand for all forms of communication, Phone, TV, Radio, Gaming, Fax and Internet to be delivered to these wireless devices.
We all have a basic need to be connected at all times with our loved ones, businesses and colleagues. The wireless age has set the stage for an all-in- one Communication/Internet/TV/Phone/Fax/Gaming/Radio solution that has a definite appeal to consumers. A bundled package which will take care of all your communication needs in one monthly bill.
All this competition for your monthly bundled communication services can only spell good news for the consumer. Shop around and you will save money on your monthly bill. Whether it's $10, $20, $30 or more OFF your monthly charges -- this will quickly add up over time -- saving you big bucks in the long run. It is definitely worth your while to check out the different bundled service providers in your area to find the best deal. You should even check with your current Cable TV or Telecom provider to see if they offer bundled services. You may be pleasantly surprised at the savings each month.
It makes economic sense. It makes practical sense. Have all your telecommunication services bundled into one package and save money.
It also makes sense to present or offer all these services in one small hand-held wireless device. Whether it is a full featured cell phone that also offers Internet/Fax/TV/Gaming/Radio or a small portable laptop/hand-held. Expect this system to evolve into a totally wireless satellite service, available anywhere in the world or universe. Cables are old school.
If we have learned anything from history, we should realize or know by now where there is a need, technology will supply the solution. Economic forces will connect the two. Prepare yourself for the Bundle Age. Wireless satellite TV, Phone, Fax, Gaming and Radio at your fingertips.
It's just around the corner, or as close as your nearest cell phone or your bundled services provider (BSP).
