Grow VoIP Grow!!!

January 2007

Hosted VoIP services grow, report shows.

In_Stat, a technology research firm, released its latest research study Wednesday, January 10, that showed that hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony usage has increased among small businesses. The study, "Hosted VoIP: Steady Growth, But Will the Boom Come?" found that small businesses have the most hosted VoIP deployments in the 20_to_50_seat range and that hosted VoIP will continue to grow over the next few years with revenues expected to exceed $2 billion by 2010. "Most business customers adopt hosted VoIP with the expectation of cost savings, but soon come to value the feature functionality and integration with data networks the application provides," said David Lemelin, senior analyst at In_Stat. "As a result, hosted VoIP solutions are becoming more valuable." The study from In_Stat found the following: 1) U.S._hosted VoIP seats in service are expected to continue to increase consistently to more than 3 million in 2010; 2) For hosted VoIP services, cost savings is the main appeal; 3) Businesses that have several office locations as well as the mobile worker are most attracted to hosted VoIP solutions.
