The total number of minutes carried each year seems to grow exponentially on their peering network.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are rumors that AT&amp;T will join the VPF. The announcement was not made formally, but my sources tell me there is a good chance it will happen. Incidentally, I met some people from AT&amp;T after my last keynote at the Voice Peering Forum in <state w:st=\"on\" \/><place w:st=\"on\" \/>New York<\/place \/><\/state \/>, and I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see them join.<\/p>\n<p>If this announcement happens, I will be absolutely correct and we will see even more rapid acceleration of VoIP peering in the world. If it doesn&#8217;t happen the market will still grow &#8211; just a bit more slowly. So far, this is still the Year of VoIP Peering.
