VoIP set for 'consolidation'

|
Consolidation is set to continue apace in the VoIP sector, despite the current economic climate, it has been claimed. A report by advisory company Grant Thornton predicts the battle between telecoms and IT businesses for market share will boost IP telephony as migration from PTSN to VoIP services increases "exponentially". The market is expected to generate £13.5 billion in global revenue in 2010 and could "signal the death knell" of traditional telephony, according to ITPro.com. Sarika Patel, head of technology at Grant Thornton, said VoIP is "here now" and is no longer next generation. He added: "VoIP has disrupted the traditional value chain in the communications industry with the focus now falling on IP rather than traditional voice calls. "As such, there is a bitter turf war taking place in the fragmented market of service provision, particularly for customer ownership." Recent comments have suggested VoIP could save businesses money, cutting their bills by as much as a half.
