Value-Adds Earn More Revenue

Source: www.voip-news.com

According to Phone+, VoIP is a tremendous value-add for broadband providers, representing $26 billion in revenue worldwide last year. That’s 62 percent more than the previous year’s nunbers. The data comes from Point Topic, which estimates that in 2007, value-adds like VoIP represented 30 percent of revenue for broadband providers, up from just 10 percent a few years earlier.

That is only expected to grow.

So what does it all mean? Like any industry, value added products are where companies can get the most revnue. In farming, that means wine, jellies, sauces, etc. Whereas a tomato alone might generate 20 cents of revenue, a tomato sauce made of four tomatoes may generate $4 worth.

So broadband providers should clue in and start turning their veggies into jam.
