Market Clarity CEO, Shara Evans said: "While increased customer loyalty may justify a free VoIP service for ISPs or telecom service providers, pure-play VoIP providers need to work on revenue generation...Even though Internet-based VoIP is expected to generate revenue of close to $85 million in 2006-2007, this represents very low ARPU for a population which will approach 1.4 million users in the same period." However, of Australia’s 1.1 million Internet-based VoIP services in December 2006, only 230,000 were paid services. Market Clarity also highlights the growing importance of the hosted IP telephony (IP centrex) market. "With revenue of over $118 million in 2006, this market is worth more than twice the Internet-based VoIP market," it says. "By 2011, hosted IP telephony could become a powerhouse worth more than $750 million per annum," it predicts.{moscomment} |
