26/04/2010 - No more recession for VoIP
With all the economic wreckage in the last few years, it's nice to see that as the dust clears, VoIP has emerged an industry winner. Carl Weinschenk, a blogger over at IT Business Edge does a good job rounding up a number of articles and studies with some great facts and figures about where the industry has been over the last year, and where we are going. Did you know that by 2014, 90 percent of the Dutch people should be using VoIP? Not a bad figure to look forward to.
The basic gist of his findings is that the recession as we know it is over for VoIP and in fact we didn't do too bad during it. In 2010 about 34 million new VoIP lines will be added, and in 2014 will see 25 percent of Americans using VoIP and according to the most recent sales studies. What this means is that old equipment needs to be replaced and the new VoIP and UC offerings are ripe for the buying.
