Telecommunications and VOIP in Europe and Africa: A Market Perspective on the Major Economies 2005-2011
a market research report
|
|
International callers from Europe will spend more than $31 billion on Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP) bypass this year. Since EU telecommunications companies have brought their international rates into line with actual costs, the attractiveness of VoIP as an arbitrage opportunity has already peaked and will gradually diminish. Thus, VoIP bypass will become a smaller percentage of all European international calls by 2011.
The report
forecasts
access line growth and wireless subscriber growth, analyzes data on MOUs
related to international circuit switched voice and VoIP traffic, and
forecasts VoIP MOUs and revenue per subscriber. VoIP’s impact on
capital investment in hardware and software is also quantified. Data is
provided for the major economies Europe and Africa including: France,
Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa.

Report Excerpt
|
|
In our 1999 study of international calling, IP Telephony, ISR, and Callback: The Deregulated European Market 1998-2003, INSIGHT predicted a short lifespan for many of the rate arbitrage plays then in vogue, and said: “…if the supposition of some (that IP equipment and transport costs are cheaper than the equivalents in the PSTN) proves to be true, and quality issues can be resolved, then IP telephony will indeed be the wave of the future.” Today, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is indeed having a direct and measurable impact on international carrier revenues, just as we predicted. But VoIP’s near term impact as an international calling rate arbitrage mechanism is a second-order effect. The impacts we trace on international markets in this study are a precursor, the leading edge, of what telecom carriers will face in their local and long-distance national markets in the near future.
In its role as a key driver for electronic commerce, as well as a facilitator to the diffusion of the Internet, the telecommunications industry has transformed itself as well as economies worldwide. The importance of telecommunications is reflected in its growing share of world output, increasing over the last twenty-five years from 1.6 percent of an estimated $20 trillion in 1975 to 2.9 percent of an estimated $40 trillion in global GDP in 2000. The pace of growth quickened in the last decade of the twentieth century and became a period of unprecedented growth for the telecommunications sector. This growth came to a screeching halt in 2000. Since then, the sector has been through a series of shocks whose effects are still being felt.
Troubles for the telecommunications sector began with the bursting of the “dot.com” bubble in 2000 as a result of the exaggerated expectations placed on the Internet phenomenon. In its wake, many telecommunications companies, either betting on the exponential growth of Internet traffic or having expanded outside their core activities, collapsed. But perhaps the biggest shock for telecommunications sector stakeholders has been the fact that the industry is witnessing a decline in revenue growth rates, which after a twenty-year uninterrupted growth trajectory of unprecedented magnitude, came as a surprise.
This study will seek to determine how much of the decline in revenue growth rates is caused by the one-off factors, and how much is precipitated by structural changes affecting the traditional public switched telecommunications network (PSTN) business models of the incumbent telephone operators as the industry moves to VoIP technology.
In the context of this study, “VoIP” is used in a generic sense to indicate the use of packet switching of voice traffic over the Internet. Hence, VoIP “bypass losses” in this report pertain to that portion of international voice traffic that uses the Internet as a transport vehicle and appears....
