Global - VoIP - Overview & Statistics

Synopsis

Improved technology solutions have led to a robust VoIP market in recent years and this growth is continuing in 2009 despite the economic downturn because VoIP offers a cheaper alternative. While security and reliability concerns still need to be resolved; consumers and business are turning to VoIP in an effort to save costs. Japan, China and the USA continue to be some of the world’s hottest markets for IP telephony. Over the last couple years, Europe has also become a prime innovator in VoIP services, whether stand-alone, bundled as a triple play offer, or through fixed-mobile convergence packages. One of the other challenges for the VoIP market is establishing the extent to which it can and should be regulated. This report provides an introduction and overview of the worldwide VoIP market including information and statistics on the leading markets, VoIP providers and worldwide VoIP subscribers.
