Several media sources are reporting (http://blog.isp-planet.com/blog/2008/06/magicjack-fastest-growing-phon.html) that MagicJack (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/89643) is the fastest-growing fixed-line phone company in the United States. The numbers are a little deceiving considering that they re based on comparing the sales of the VoIP hardware with the number of subscribers that a phone company signs up in a day; there s a big difference between purchasing a $40 product to try it out and actually signing up for long-term primary phone service. Moreover, it s notable that the revenue for MagicJack is significantly lower than that for a traditional phone service so their profits aren t growing at the rate of other businesses. However, the numbers do indicate that the VoIP calling product has been well-received; over 8,000 units are selling daily and the company expects half a million subscribers by month s end which isn t bad considering they ve been on the market for less than a year. Those are good numbers for a fixed-line phone service and great compared to other VoIP services which points to the success of the product in the market.
