Summary

This IDC study analyzes the U.S. hosted IP voice market through 2012. It highlights key drivers and trends and forecasts revenue for the entire market and segments, including core services and access.

"IDC predicts the U.S. hosted IP voice market to grow strongly through 2012, with a CAGR of 37.3% for 2007-2012," says research analyst for Enterprise Mobility and IP Communications Services, Rebecca Swensen. "Both the struggling economy and the service providers' intentions to beef up hosted platforms with advanced applications like unified communications and functionality like mobility will drive more adoption of hosted IP voice services. However, as the telecommunications industry evolves into a more global market, U.S.-based service providers will face heated competition from European providers like BT and Orange Business. How quickly U.S.-based providers integrate advanced capabilities will make the difference between ensuring sustainability in the U.S. market and falling prey to the European provider's advanced technology and platforms over time."
