International Phone Traffic Growth Slows, while Skype AcceleratesJanuary 20, 2010 |
|
New data from TeleGeography show that the growth of international telephone traffic has slowed, while Skype’s growth has accelerated. Over the past 25 years, international call volume from telephones has grown at a compounded annual rate of 15 percent. In the past two years, however, annual international telephone traffic growth has slowed to only 8 percent, growing from 376 billion minutes in 2008 to an estimated 406 billion minutes in 2009. While international telephone traffic growth has slowed, Skype’s traffic has soared. Skype’s on-net traffic (between two Skype users) grew 51 percent in 2008, and is projected to grow 63 percent in 2009, to 54 billion minutes. Slowing traffic growth and the proliferation of alternatives to traditional telephone calls will present ever greater challenges to international carriers.
