Analyst firm Dell'Oro Group sees the carrier IP Telephony market breaking out of its current slump in 2010, according to a recent report. While the group said the carrier IP telephony market in 2009 will be down around 14 percent from 2008, Dell'Oro expects the market to rebound to $4 billion by 2013.
Why is IP Telephony down? Well, in the Enterprise space you have mass layoffs, bankruptcies, mergers, and office closings which all result in a negative line count. That's why IPT is down.
In another Dell'Oro Group survey that FierceVoIP writes about, the Enterprise IP-PBX line count is down in 2009. No kidding. Again layoffs, office closings, and that thing called Hosted PBX. Are Dell'Oro or Fierce actually shocked by this or just have to state the obvious to make some money?
In similar news, AT&T is shutting down its CallVantage consumer VoIP service in October 20, 2009.
