The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project recently reported that almost one-quarter of Internet-using American adults have made telephone calls on the Internet via a service such as Skype or Vonage. The figure showed sharp increase over the last time Pew polled people on this question, though this year was the first time Pew worded the question to offer Skype and Vonage as examples of such a service.

Report: Video conferencing a $3.8B business by 2016

June 1, 2011

New research forecasts the global videoconferencing market will be worth $3.8 billion by 2016, with compound annual growth approaching 6 percent.

Research firm Ovum, in its report, Enterprise Video Forecast 2011-2016, said that growth puts video conferencing among the fastest growing ICT segments.

A number of factors are driving the deployment of telepresence, especially at larger scale, said Ovum, including reducing travel costs, improving productivity and reducing carbon footprints.

"The technology is now of a very high quality, so take up is increasing," said Ovum analyst Richard Thurston.
