VoIP Service Revenues to Reach $18bn in Business Sector by 2010, but Overall Telco Revenues to Shrink by $36bn p.a. due to VoIP
Hampshire, UK (ContentDesk) March 22, 2006 - Revenues from Voice over IP (VoIP) services in the business sector will reach $18 billion by 2010, according to a new study by Juniper Research. VoIP Growth will be driven by: The replacement of existing business circuit switched connectivity; The lower cost of calls; Massive growth in the Chinese telecoms market; Businesses reaping the efficiencies of carrying voice and data traffic over one network; and the realisation that integrating voice functionality into business critical IT applications will improve business productivity.The Juniper report reveals that the tipping point for the adoption of VoIP by businesses will shortly be reached, but also illustrates the barriers to adoption resulting from difficulties in network readiness and the regulation of VoIP in some countries. Highlights from the report include:"????The total business VoIP services market will reach $18bn per annum by 2010"????Small business broadband connections will reach 40 million lines by 2010"????Hosted VoIP business revenues will climb to $7.6bn by 2010"????The lost telecoms service provider revenues resulting from businesses moving to VoIP will amount to $36bn per annum by 2010"????Losses incurred by traditional telecoms providers will be exacerbated by the rise of Internet Telephony Service Providers and VoIP Peering HousesAuthor Barry Butler states: VoIP has the potential to transform business communications, in terms of call costs, cost of operations and integration with business processes. However, as with other IP based platforms, VoIP is a disruptive technology which will reshape the business communications service provider community.

Residential VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, services are provided for two segments: businesses and consumers. Consumer VoIP is targeted at homes and hence referred to as residential VoIP. As with any other consumer product, the demand for residential VoIP is driven by cost and quality of service.
With more homes taking to the broadband services for entertainment, news and online purchases, voice-based services, almost free, have caused the consumers to switch to the VoIP telephony. The demand is such that according to Frost and Sullivan Research, consumer VoIP is expected to grow 77 times in the next three years, and the market is expected to generate $700 million in revenues by 2007.
The residential VoIP components are ATAs, phones with built-in routers, IP phones and other hardware accessories. Software services are also slowly catching up.
Software providers like Skype have recorded thousands of downloads so far, and the software is free upon registration....

In the legacy system, the cost of maintaining the infrastructure is high, forcing call costs, such as long?distance calls, to be high. Hence, the services are dominated by large telecommunications companies like as AT&T. Small companies, such as local exchange carriers, find the cost of installing legacy systems prohibitive. Hence, they are restricted to local geography.
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is an open architecture that can be seamlessly upgraded and can have new best-in-class products easily built-in, unlike legacy systems where the structure is locked with limited chances of upgrading or upgrading at huge costs. As such, major telecom players and small carriers who want to upgrade their services and enter into voice services are deploying VoIP systems and applications.
The VoIP market has, therefore, become highly competitive.
VoIP service is not a stand-alone opportunity. For the end customer, there is just one face to VoIP service,...

Attic Ladders
An attic ladder is a set of folding steps that can be accessed easily, and folded up when not in use. For homes, garages and warehouses, it is preferred to use this ladder rather than a staircase since it frees up ground space when not in use. Attic ladders are used for entering an overhead area of storage, called an attic. To open an attic ladder that is folded up, a pull cord or a ring is provided for pulling it down. Once opened, the ladder should touch the ground at an angle so that it is...
