In-Stat expects a huge rise in the popularity of VoIP over the next four years.

In spite of many mobile operators trying to delay the development of online VoIP it is expected to create revenues of £21.3 billion by 2013. The number of users is predicted to rise to 287 million.

Reportlinker.com predicts that VoIP will have a dramatic effect on the way we use mobile phones to communicate. VoIP is no longer just a cost effective way to bypass international call rates but is developing into a sophisticated mobile application.

While some operators try to stall technological advancements in a bid to preserve revenues from international call charges, others such as WiMax and 3G have started harnessing the potential of mobile VoIP. As more operators join, this will further increase the speed and quality of technological development.

Business travelers can benefit dramatically from VoIP as an internet business solution when they are not at the office. This demand is expected to rise significantly in the next year in London, Paris and Berlin.

A great variety of VoIP headsets have been developed specifically to meet the growing demand for this up and coming technology and to provide quality and comfort to business people, professional and amateur talk-aholics alike.
