VOIP in mobile phones will, in due curse, replace other protocols. An international marketplace for mobile voice worth about 700 billion $ is in the balance. Nevertheless, it is complex to calculate when this could occur given the different obstacles and barriers VOIP may have to defeat. Traditional mobile operators are fretful about avoiding or postponing this alteration from occurring.

End to end cellular phone VOIP applications let two or more users to carry out a voice conversation in a straight line, without requiring to go through a traditional voice service at any point. They include applications like: Fring, Gizmo5, Google Talk, JAJAH, Jaxtr, Mig33, Nimbuzz, Skype, Talkety, Talkonaut, Truphone, Vopium, Yackie Mobile, Yahoo! Voice and Yeigo. These applications work via WIFI as well as via mobile network protocols such as GPRS, UMTS, and others. They represent the main hazard to conventional mobile voice carriers.

Conventional mobile operators deal with this threat by a number of methods including avoidance, pressure, lobbying etc..

1.    Mobile operators often impede VOIP traffic on their own GPRS, UMTS, and other networks.
2.    Mobile operators often keep out VOIP numbers in the flat plans or else they obstruct to reach them.
3.    Habitually, mobile operators pressure handset vendors not to release WIFI enabled terminals.
4.    Often, mobile operators pressure handset vendors to put out of action any mobile VoIP access for third party developers in their mobile application developer platforms.
5.    All providers of operating system for mobile handsets are considering VOIP a prohibited thing.

The constraints imposed by established mobile operators may turn into an opening for newcomers to the mobile telephony marketplace. WIFI may become the most used protocol for VOIP. Any provider or consortium of providers offering plentyample WIFI coverage, especially in major urban areas, may have an advantage in this new VOIP arena. The source of profit may shift from the voice service itself to assured Quality of Service and/or coverage.

Also, at a time when traditional handheld Operating Systems, such as Synbian, Windows Mobile and Leopard, pay too much of a tribute to the war on VOIP, other Operating Systems may take over the ground they left in danger, such as Linux in a lot of of its versions.
