The VoIP Invasion of Communications

I perceive it more like a change of regime in the communications world. The statistics say it. VoIP is already the best industry in of the last decade. the coming years will be those of change - from existing old communications paradigms to the new one, VoIP.

Already, 13% of the wireline market is for VoIP, which represents 21 million users in the US alone, the FCC released in a report (PDF). There are more details in Matthew's analysis there.

The Mobile side of things

On the Mobile side of things, the numbers are astronomical. A UK-based research group predicts a growth of more than 30 in the number of mobile VoIP calling minutes - from 15 billion minutes in 2010 to 470 billion only five years later. The factor that will bring this invasive change is the proliferation of 3G and 4G wireless network standards. Juniper, on their side, predict that there will be 100 million mobile VoIP users by as early as 2012. Are you ready for the change?
