VoIP 'to become more widespread in 2010'
VoIP (voice over internet protocol) is expected to become a more widespread technology in 2010, according to one expert.
Chad Behling, of RockBochs, told TMC Net that he expects market growth in the VoIP sector over the next few years "as bandwidth increases and users adjust to declining analogue lines".
He went on to add that the global economic slowdown has actually been beneficial to manufacturers of VoIP products as businesses want to cut down on their external communications costs and VoIP can be an effective way to do this.
However, Mr Behling suggested that it might be a few years until the market sees the widespread adoption of high-definition voice features and wideband codecs.
For the majority of people, narrowband codecs are "good enough", he stated.
Similarly, eWeek predicts that VoIP and telephony are set to expand during 2010, with the unified communications and collaboration market reaching a value of $7.4 billion (£4.6 billion) by the end of the year.
