I saw a very big and ugly red display of Packet 8 at my local CompUSA today. With their ugly packaging I don't who would grab for it. A few meters down the aisles was the more attractive Linksys/ATT CallVantage display. Why was I not surprised that the sales floor staff didn't know the difference between Vonage, P8 and CallVantage.
And yet the retailers take the money from the brands like crack in the inner city. I don't get it. The brands pay slotting, MAP and co-op funds for what, self service.
VoIP needs educated floor staff at these stores. They're not getting it at CompUSA, Staples of Frys that I can tell.
