I have gone through the findings of In-Stat report on the state of residential VoIP in USA. The report highlights how VoIP is gaining momentum among the residential customers of USA.
According to In-Stat, the USA has signed up nearly 3.8 million residential VoIP customers in the year 2006. It further says that consumer VoIP adoption will push forward wholesale VoIP revenues to $3.8 billion by 2010. The total revenue from residential VoIP was recorded $1.1 billion last year.
In an another report, ABI Research predicted the residential VoIP market will swell from its present customer base of 38 million to touch more than 267 million households in 2012.
The strong growth can be attributed entry of Cable service providers into the VoIP arena. For instance, Comcast, the US-based cable service provider has registered more than 419,000 new voice customers during fourth quarter of 2006 ending the year with 1.9 million voice customers.
