France is Leading W. Europe VoIP


The three largest VoIP providers in Western Europe are French: Orange, Neuf Cegetel and Free. According to InfoCom's most recent report on IP-based voice, Orange also is active in the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.

All in all Orange had 3.57 million VoIP customers in these four countries at the end of June 2007 and was the largest provider of IP voice services that are a replacement for analog telephone service, with a 14 percent market share. Neuf Cegetel and Free (Iliad group) follow. BT ranks fourth while and United Internet ranks fifth.

Skype leads for PC-to-PC VoIP share, though MSN or Yahoo! each get significant usage as well. Generally speaking, consumers do not use Skype, Google or MSN VoIP services as their main phone line in place of their traditional telephone line, InfoCom analysts say.
