"This report cuts through the hype surrounding wireless VoIP to
quantify its real impact on the overall voice market. After a slow start, we
expect wireless VoIP to overtake fixed VoIP in terms of both traffic volumes
and revenue."
Product overview
There is growing interest in delivering VoIP services over a range of
wireless technologies (including 3G, WLAN and WiMAX). However, there is
still uncertainty over the extent to which it will be adopted and the impact
it will have on the usage and revenue of voice services in general. Such
services offer significant opportunities and risks for network operators,
equipment vendors and a number of other organisations. The central question
addressed by this report is: what will be the impact of wireless VoIP on the
overall voice market, and when? The report provides detailed forecasts of
traffic volumes, revenues and ARPU for mobile and fixed voice services for
the period 2006-15, segmented by wireless technology type (cellular, WLAN
and BWA), and by circuit-switched and VoIP services.
