[[Broadband Internet]] became prevalent in the majority of homes in Israel. [[Bezeq]] ceased to be a monopoly in the field of the [[landline]] communications, when [[Hot (Israel)|HOT]] started offering telephony services through the cables infrastructures.

In the middle of the decade, due to the popularity which the high-speed Internet and VoIP technologies gained amongst the [[Israelis]], at first Israelis were able to conduct international conversations free of charge or at lower rates through the Internet due to the link between VoIP networks such as [[Skype]] and [[Vonage]] and the traditional telephony networks in Israel and abroad. In 2008, [[Partner Communications Company]] and [[XFONE]] joined the high-speed Internet providers market.
