VoIP Gains Momentum In US Homes for 2006
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) continues to gain users in the residential telephone service market in the US, according to a report.
More than 9 million US households now have at least one active VoIP user, with many households reporting the use of more than one VoIP service, according to a report by market research company In-Stat. Skype continues to dominate among client-based VoIP services with 2.1 million active households, while Microsoft gained more than 1.1 million active households as of the end of the third quarter.
A massive 49 % of current residential VoIP users reported that they had discontinued a traditional (non-VoIP) phone service when they got their VoIP services, including nearly 12 percent of respondents who report that their only VoIP service is client-based. This suggests that the rapid growth of users for client-based services like Skype and Yahoo! Messenger with Voice is also having an impact on incumbent service providers.
