tc1000 aimed at 6% of the market, tc2000 for the 94% of the market of which something like historically c80%? went for the analgoue plantronics amps. We know that plantronics are playing some interesting marketing tactics to keep their market share but the largest call centres were all told at the shock conf that the tc2000 was the only viable option to remain with UK legal requirements (in addition to EU ones). let's be charitable and assume c3tc2000 are indeed having a great time with all the demos and minds are being focussed on q1 2006 to get capexes signed in the new 2006 IT budgets - c3 no doubt stay quiet until all their possibles are converted and then announce the victory. We then get PC voip out with mobile headsets and cover home PC skype/ mobile headsets to compete with GN/plantronics there and get to a happy position by mid 2006 that in all main markets, a)home PC voip, b) mobile, c)call centre pstn & voip we have a fundamentally more advanced product range.
Then life starts to get awfully interesting if at the same time we get the tc2000 sales figures as analysts can then start to extrapolate ASA dsp dominance in a field with a few million users (call centre) to a field with 500m plus users (mobile) and that does not even include pc users.
Me I am happy to ask questions but I do not see an ounce of evidence thus far that the rivals even know where to start to get the same ASA dsp technology out there. At what point this all translates into a serious city approval rating without the DOM sale I will never know.
But with this investment you have to put up with a lot of indigestion to enjoy the fatted Christmas roast turkey!
Best wishes to all.......
