When do you plan to launch your VoIP products?
We have a product right now -- an analogue terminal adapter for VoIP. Within a month or two, we will work with some voice service providers in the US to launch this product. That will be the first one. A lot more products will come out in the second part of this year.
When will those products be launched in Asia?
We're looking at sometime this year. We want to try them out in the US first. We want to make sure that the product can stand its ground at the service provider level. Once we have that in place, we can pretty much go anywhere.
It's finally time for VoIP. There are more products, costs are more affordable, usage is easier, plus, Wi-Fi may enable the cordless part of it.
Linksys has been strong in making consumer networking gear. With the diversification, what are the priorities going forward?
Personal computing products are absolutely bread and butter, and we will continue to drive this. Communications is No. 2, thanks to Cisco. The IP phone could be the next Linksys Ethernet router. Entertainment comes next.
