Welcome Phil Hill to TMCnet as a columnist. Phil’s column is titled Hosted Hearsay and his first article is titled Small Business VoIP: Is it an Elephant or Gorilla? Where he discusses the reason why all SMBs are lumped together.

Small Business is a Big Market

While similarities between eating five-toed pachyderms and the small business market may seem a stretch, let’s remember that they have one thing in common: they’re both very large.

So let’s settle on this as being the definition of a small business.

 

Before you pat yourself on the back and let out a collective exhale of relief, hold on a minute — you haven’t even gotten out your knife and fork yet. The real work hasn’t started yet — at least not for anyone in the small business VoIP market. It’s time to start slicing and dicing.

 

I am impressed with Hill’s writing and as you recall, I mentioned yesterday if you want to be considered as a TMCnet columnist drop Greg Galitzine a line.
