As demands for Voice Over IP services and video chat continue to spike due to their increased functionality and lowered cost, many providers are under pressure to deliver the same level of excellence, consistency and ease that traditional phone networks can provide. The VOIP and video chat trend is not looking to subside anytime soon either as Ovum Research predicts consumer use of VOIP will reach 1.7 trillion minutes by 2018.
So what does this mean for the companies in a fast-growing, global VOIP ecosystem?
