According to recent studies, In-Stat forecasts that by the end of this year, there will be over 3.2 million users of broadband IP telephony services. In their final conclusions, In-Stat asserts that VoIP will fundamentally transform the global telecommunications system. All telecommunications service providers and large companies are expected to replace traditional telephony services with VoIP services.
In-Stat analyst David Lemelin stated, “The growth of the broadband IP telephony market will continue to drive down communication costs and foster new applications. The integration of mobile, WiFi, and VoIP, which has already reached a threshold, will align better with a significant leap forward in the use of broadband IP telephony.”
Everywhere, whether using broadband phones or VoIP, the ultimate goal for customers remains the same. Currently, there are still too many challenges regarding service quality and the readiness of such services. However, the explosive growth of broadband phone usage in the past 12 months in the USA has demonstrated the imminent surge of this service (At the end of 2004, In-Stat estimated that there were over 1.3 million broadband IP telephony connections registered for use in the U.S.).
