100m Mobile VoIP users by 2010

Research company Juniper has charted the demand for Mobile VoIP in Europe and the US, with more users appearing in emerging markets.
Juniper found that a VoIP technology boom is taking place which will create 100 million users over the next two years.
Senior analyst at Juniper, Anthony Cox, said: “We expect a significant increase in whatever form mobile VoIP takes by the year 2012.
"By then mobile VoIP will have evolved over both Wi-Fi and 3G networks, while more traditional operators will have developed relationships with Verizon in the United States, 3UK and Skype.
He added: “But VoIP will be mainly used in the future over Wi-Fi networks, which will bypass operators altogether".
According to the Juniper Opportunities and Business Models report for 2010 - 2015, an increase in the number of providers will lead to increased operators.
But as Wi-Fi takes over, the fall in mobile VoIP operator revenues could be as much as $5bn by 2015.
The Juniper Research subsequently predicted that circuit based voice markets will decline, leading to a fall in revenue.
