VOIP leads the way as service revenues ramp up

According to the latest data from Point Topic broadband value added services generated $25.7 billion worldwide in 2007, an increase of 62% on 2006.
“Value added services are growing strongly and are increasingly significant in overall revenue terms,” says John Bosnell, Senior Analyst at Point Topic.
“We estimate that value added services were 10% of total broadband revenues, which includes subscriptions, in 2003 but by the end of 2007 that has increased to over 30%. As it gets harder to make a profit in the hyper competitive line rental market the operators and suppliers have to look to add value, and revenue, with their service offerings,” he continues.
Where does the money come from?
56% of the service revenues generated worldwide come from the combination of voice over IP (VOIP) and security. They are followed, in order of global revenue generated by online gaming, home networks, music downloads and video over broadband.
“The success story of 2007 has been VOIP. Overall revenue has very nearly doubled, average revenue per user (ARPU) is up and take-up in major markets, particularly North America and Western Europe is growing quickly,” says Bosnell.
Point Topic splits VOIP into two segments, IP Telephony which means VOIP provided by ISPs and Internet Telephony, which includes services like Skype which route through the user’s PC.
“It’s difficult to measure active users of the Skype and its cousins, like the applications embedded in the popular instant messaging services, but our estimates put the worldwide number of active users at around 20 million,” he continues.
Whilst the ARPU is relatively low on these services, IP Telephony on the other hand produces around 10 times as much revenue per user. But it’s not a bottomless well. At the end of 2007 for example VOIP accounted for 27% of fixed lines in France, many served via bundled deals. Market saturation is still some way off but not out of sight.
“We expect VOIP to continue to grow strongly in the next few years and in combination with other value adds, particularly IPTV, global revenues should continue to grow,” concludes Bosnell.

Same Day VoIP Service!!!!!

­­­
IP5280 COMMUNICATIONS LAUNCHES “SAME-DAY-VOIP” SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR DNC CONVENTION ATTENDEES

Englewood, Colo. – August 25, 2008 – IP5280 Communications, Colorado’s business VoIP specialists, announced the immediate availability of “Same-Day-VoIP”, a Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) phone service designed to meet the unanticipated requirements of the attendees of the Democratic National Convention being held in Denver August 25th to August 28th. While the physical network infrastructure of metro Denver has been augmented in anticipation of the convention and the expected demands placed on the network caused by the addition of 80,000 people, it may still not be enough to support all of the communication requirements of the DNC attendees.
Cellular, local access and broadband communications will be instantly stressed by the increased demands of the news and media coverage of the convention, further tested by the real time distribution of video applications destined for the web, and public and private blogs. IP5280’s “Same-Day-VoIP” service guarantees fully operational VoIP phone service within 24 hours from when the order is placed, including phone numbers, feature turn up and customized Music On Hold to announce event updates and any other urgent communications.
“It’s possible that the existing cellular, wireless and landline networks will be pushed beyond the limits,” said Carlos Johnson, vice president of Engineering for IP5280. “We also know that some of the organizations setting up temporary offices in Denver may come up short with what they have for communications options and may need immediate support.”
IP5280 has the capabilities to turn up phones and lines within 24 hours, as long as there is sufficient broadband connectivity available. In fact, IP5280 has implemented these services to businesses in emergency situations in the past. For immediate consultation and support, call 303-800-0000.
“We are proud of our leadership position in the Business VoIP space,” said Jamie Minner, vice president of Sales. “We stand ready to help Colorado business, as well as the many guests of the great city of Denver during the DNC Convention.”
