VoIP growth in 2009

It's no surprise that the VoIP industry will be a top grower in 2009! It's an industry that offers "more for less". Anytime you can say to a business that you can offer many more features and flexibility for less money, you gain ground!

Ip5280 can see this growth and opportunity. Hosted VoIP is a no-brainer, if you are a small business, buying a PBX is like buying a buggy whip, when everyone else is driving a car. SIP trunking is accelerating in 2009! We are seeing larger companies embracing SIP Trunking across the board. in 2009, SIP trunking will surpass the PRI trunk. It's simply the new way we do business moving forward.

Skype is moving lots of traffic

This is amazing and further proof LD is headed to $0



Skype, the long distance king
By Doug Mohney
Comment Forward
New data from TeleGeography says Skype is moving 8 percent of the world's international long distance phone traffic. "Only five years after its launch, Skype has emerged as the largest provider of cross-border voice communications in the world," said TeleGeography analyst Stephan Beckert.
As a whole, international voice traffic continues to rise, as it grew 14 percent in 2007 and is estimated to have grown 12 percent in 2008 to around 384 billion minutes. However, revenues have been largely flat due to declining call prices.
TeleGeography estimates that Skype's cross-border traffic grew 41 percent in 2008 to 33 billion minutes. Wholesale carriers such as iBasis and Level 3 are picking up revenues from "Skype Out" traffic, with the service generating 8.4 billion minutes of calls in 2008.
It's an interesting benchmark with more interesting complications. Why would anyone (eBay) want to sell off the world's largest long-distance provider, so long as it is making money?
