Service providers worldwide recorded an estimated traffic volume of 328.7 billion VoIP minutes during the third quarter, according to iLocus. Of those minutes 72.3 billion were local, 232 billion were national long distance and 24.4 billion were used for international long distance.
About 69.1 billion of those minutes were retail, 3.2 were wholesale local VoIP (white labeling, for example).
There is about 10 percent double counting in national long distance and about 20 percent double counting in international long distance. Double counted minutes are those minutes where the same call is being relayed by two or more carriers and counted as traffic by each one of them.
The top five service providers ranked by minutes were China Telecom, China Netcom, AT&T, China Mobile and Qwest.
