VOIP spending up 36%
By Mark Evans | February 23, 2005
According to Infonetics, carriers spent $1.7 billion on VOIP equipment in 2004, a 36% increase from 2003. Infonetics forecasts spending will climb to $5.9 billion by 2008. The good news for Nortel is it was the softswitch market leader last year in class 4 and class 5 apps. Among the companies getting into Internet telephony that will use Nortel's softswitches is Rogers Cable Inc., which announced its Nortel deal today as part of its launch into telephony by mid-year.
