General info on VoIP usage

small to-medium businesses’ hosted VoIP market spending will cross
$1.56 billion by 2010.
In-Stat predicts that two-thirds of US businesses will have some form of
VoIP service by 2011.
Market projected to exceed $8B by 2013 and growing at a CAGR of
over 27% (According to Frost and Sullivan)
In the first half of 2009, VOIP services brought in nearly $21 billion in
revenue, with both residential and business services looking healthy and
poised for even more growth for the second half of the year, according to
a report by market research firm Infonetics Research. But the current
sweet spot, at least in North America, is small businesses with fewer
than100 employees. In the first half of the year (2009), roughly two
thirds of all VoIP services sold went to small businesses.
