VOIP Revenues to Hit $18B

I spotted this on LightReading this morning and thought it was worth noting.

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. -- Revenues from Voice over IP (VoIP) services in the business sector will reach $18 billion by 2010, according to a new study by Juniper Research. VoIP Growth will be driven by: The replacement of existing business circuit switched connectivity; The lower cost of calls; Massive growth in the Chinese telecoms market; Businesses reaping the efficiencies of carrying voice and data traffic over one network; and the realisation that integrating voice functionality into business critical IT applications will improve business productivity.
I really question the validity and sources of some of the projection numbers we see in the media, but Juniper Research is generally pretty close to the mark.
