Skype Opens API Beta
November 17, 2004
This is an announcement that Niklas Zennstrm mentioned at Internet Telephony in LA but this is an elaboration of the program. This could be considered a direct assault on the growth of SIP devices and products.
Liz Claiborne Inc. Receives Ciscos 4 Millionth IP Telephone
November 17, 2004
A good gauge of the growth rate of enterprise VoIP can be summed up with the following excerpt:
It took us 4-and-a-half years to sell our first 2 million IP phones and only 14 months to climb from 2 million to 4 million phones sold to customers, said Barry OSullivan, vice president and general manager for Ciscos IP Communications Business Unit.
If you break it out, that equates to a rate of 37,000 phones per month for the first 4.5 years while the more recent rate is 143,000 phones per month. Interestingly a similar trend is happening across medium and small enterprises as well. These growth rates are indicative of the entire enterprise market based on my conversations with vendors in the industry.
