Telegeography says the other 50,000 are moving to wireless-only plans or cancelling their secondary household lines. It predicts that VoIP service providers will capture 22 percent of all local exchange carriers' existing customers, contributing to a cumulative loss of $US18.2 billion in local service revenues between 2006 and 2010. Loss of revenues from access charges and consumer long-distance services will result in several billions of dollars of additional damage to traditional telephone service providers. Telegeography recently launched a US VoIP research service, claimed to "bring clarity and a data-driven perspective on the market by surveying the service providers and potential consumers of voice over broadband services". |
