Number of Users of VoIPo3G Expected to Rise

According to a report made available by Disruptive Analysis, the
number of people who use the VoIP over 3G Mobile Network might
increase to about 250 million by the year 2012 going by the trend at
which people are subscribing to the service. It is also speculated
that the mobile VoIP might become a major means of communication with
encouragement being offered by mobile service providers and therefore
it might also take over WiFi.
The fact that it is possible to fit more phone calls into a limited
allocation of radio spectrumhas made Disruptive to believe that VoIP3G
will be popular with carriers. In term of cost, it will help cut down
some operating expenses thereby allowing fixed and mobile core
networks to be combined and will facilitate new services such as
push-to-talk and voice-integrated mashups. VoIPo3G is compatible with
femtocells and all- IP technologies such as 3GPP LTE (Long Term
Evolution), 3GPP2 UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), and WiMAX.
Although these radio technologies are still a few years away from
becoming mainstream, independent VoIP companies are currently using 3G
support for VoIP by equipping smartphones with dedicated software, and
exploiting open operating systems, flat-rate data plans and features
such as naked SIP and built-in VoIP capability to such effect.
It is also reported that there is an increase in the number of
carriers marketing 3G modems for PCs in order to compete with home
DSL/cable broadband offerings. Some operators provide VoIP software
for PCs with wireless broadband.
Therefore, going by the presence occurrence Disruptive Networks
expects that by 2012 these trends and developments to lead to most
VoIPo3G users using mobile carriers' own standards-based VoIP
capabilities, over the new, advanced 3G+ networks
