Summary

Operators are turning to VoIP services in an effort to offset their declining fixed-voice revenues. Many European service providers are now offering hosted VoIP services, but the number of customers using these services is still a small percentage of the overall VoIP services market.

Hosted IP voice services are an alternative to premises-based business telephone systems. These services are fundamentally different from PBXs because capital expenditure is avoided, maintenance contracts are unnecessary, and management is fully outsourced to a secure, central location. These hosted and managed VoIP services offer a number of advantages to the fragmented and complex European telecom environment.
