Some 1,079 billion minutes of VoIP traffic were carried by service providers around the world last year, says ILocus. The data suggest over half of calls were for long distance national calls. Separate estimates by TeleGeography suggest global VoIP minutes amounted to just short of 72 billion minutes last year.
There were 37.5 million voice over broadband subscribers, an increase of 16.5 million subscribers over the year. The biggest growth occurred in the U.S., French and German markets.
In the VoIP equipment market, softswitch and media gateways sales generated combined revenues of $2.2 billion - with 36.9 million Class 5 softswitch licences, 34.8 million Class 4 softswitch licences and 48.2 million service provider media gateway ports sold worldwide.
