VOIP Growth Slows Among Early Adopters

August 21, 2006

VoIP adoption among early adopters is slowing, according to a recent survey of early adopters by ChangeWave Research. According to a July survey of its Alliance members, 13 percent of respondents planned to deploy some form of VoIP technology in their homes during the next year, a 4 percent decline from a similar survey conducted in April.

ChangeWave also found some form of VoIP telephony used by 21 percent of respondents, up 1 percent since April. Of VoIP users, Skype led the pack with 29 percent followed by Vonage at 26 percent. Vonage's hold on the market is ebbing, ChangeWave noted, as this was the third consecutive survey in which the VoIP firm lost market share ground. Among current VoIP users surveyed by ChangeWave, 40 percent said they use the technology as their primary home phone service, a 3 percent increase since April.
