In-Stat Reports 7.9 % of U.S. Households Now Use a VoIP Telephone Service
2006-12-20
The firm’s new service utilizes a combination of end-user research and market analysis to estimate usage and market share among all of the major service providers, both facilities-based providers like Vonage and client-based providers like Skype, on an ongoing basis.
Recent research from the service also revealed that:
- Vonage and Time Warner Cable continue neck-and-neck among facilities-based VoIP subscribers with an estimated 1.7 million and
1.6 million active households respectively.
- Skype continues to dominate among client-based VoIP services with
2.1 million active households, while Microsoft gained more than 1.1 million active households as of the end of Q3.
- In a recent survey, 49 % of current residential VoIP users reported that they had discontinued a traditional (non-VoIP) phone service when they got their VoIP services, including nearly 12 percent of respondents who report that their only VoIP service is client-based.
This suggests that the rapid growth of users for client-based services like Skype and Yahoo! Messenger with Voice is also having an impact on incumbent service providers.
- Half of users report using their residential VoIP service either in part or in whole for business purposes, including more than 40 % of client-based VoIP users.
About In-Stat’s US Residential Voice-Over IP Market Dynamics and Market Tracker service:
This service relies on a combination of quarterly end-user surveys and ongoing analysis of activities by major VoIP service providers and provides the following benefits:
- Tracks residential usage of both facilities-based (e.g., Vonage, AT&T CallVantage) and client-based (e.g., Skype, Windows Live
Messenger) VoIP services, including subscribers, users, households, and market share (approximately top 20 VoIP service providers overall)
- Provides quarterly snapshot of usage patterns and trends including number of calls, length of calls, international calling, business versus personal calling, monthly spend, user satisfaction, intent to churn
- Examines trends in current and planned use of VoIP peripherals (e.g., USB phones, wireless headsets, Web cams)
- Includes updates on recent strategic moves by key market participants (e.g., launch of AOL Phoneline and comparison of its open API and developer program with Skype strategy)
