Yesterday at Spring VON 2006, CompUSA announced its partnership with Bandwidth.com and Sylantro Systems to offer what it called the first full-featured hosted VoIP service for small and medium-sized businesses in the retail industry. Target audiences will be businesses in need of 10 to 200 lines. Silly, because no matter how much self-serving studies you put out, I am not convinced that businesses of the size touted by these alliance partners will go to a mass-market retailer to purchase hosted VoIP. (see full release)
When one realizes that CompUSA also uses predatory financing from the former Household International (now called HSBC Finance Corporation), and is owned by a Mexican billionaire, there should be little promise for this self-serving idea.
