What Google ChromeOS Means for Hosted VoIP PBX
Google Chrome OS & Hosted VoIP
Google ChromeOS is innovative, cool, and attracting tons of hype. But what we’re really interested in is its implications for hosted VoIP PBX.
Google ChromeOS is simply an Internet based operating system so it really doesn’t have many repercussions for hosted VoIP. The quality of a hosted VoIP phone service is much more dependent on the service provider, Internet connection, and VoIP phones being utilized. While this is true, Google ChromeOS and the Google Chrome browser could affect hosted VoIP PBX systems in specific ways.
What is Google ChromeOS?
Chances are that if you’ve arrived at this hosted VoIP blog you understand the difference between Google ChromeOS and the Google Chrome browser. But regardless of whether you do or don’t, you should check out this easy to follow YouTube video created by Google describing the Google ChromeOS concept.

Telecommuting to Tackle the H1N1 Virus
Whether we like it or not, the H1N1 virus is among us. While the virus affects our health, it can also affect our business. But smart CEO’s are using hosted VoIP PBX technology to end the virus’s daily commute.
According to a national survey released by Mansfield Communications, 91 percent of Americans said they want their co-workers to remain at home if they are infected with the H1N1 flu virus. And if an employee goes to work with the flu or symptoms of, 83 percent of co-workers say they are likely to inform a fellow colleague or senior management about a colleague in their workplace whom they think might be showing symptoms of the flu.
“By having clear and definitive H1N1 policies and procedures in place and by becoming a trusted source of related information, leading companies can truly take care of their greatest asset – their employees,” said Rob Ireland, partner at Mansfield Communications Inc.
Business VoIP and Hosted VoIP PBX Systems Rise UP!
According to market research firm Infonetics Research, the VoIP market grew by a startling $20.7 billion in the first half of 2009. But what is really amazing is the expected growth in the hosted VoIP PBX sector.
Here is a quote from Diane Myers, directing analyst for service provider VoIP and IMS at Infonetics Research.
“Demand for residential and business VoIP services continues to grow even as spending in other communication areas tightens. For the first half of 2009, the worldwide VoIP services market grew to $20.7 billion. Residential VoIP services remain healthy, comprising the majority of worldwide VoIP services revenue, and subscribers are up 14% from the end of 2008. On the business VoIP side, while managed IP PBX revenue growth has slowed in line with IP PBX shipments, we are expecting IP Centrex and hosted UC service revenue to grow 26% year-over-year in 2009.”
