Boston, September 15, 2009 For Immediate Release The consumer voice segment of the telecommunications market will continue to experience revenue declines due to access line losses from wireless substitution and the ongoing migration toward lower-cost VoIP options, according to the latest edition of leading research firm ATLANTIC-ACM's telecommunications industry sizing and share report. According to the study, entitled U.S. Telecom Wired and Wireless Sizing and Share: 2009-2014, a projected 11-percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in consumer VoIP revenue (2008-2014) will not be sufficient to offset the projected decline of 10 percent per year (compounded) from 2008 to 2014 in consumer switched voice revenues, resulting a net decline of almost $16 billion in the consumer voice market from 2008 to 2014. "We are witnessing the effects of technology migration," said Dr. Judy Reed Smith, ATLANTIC-ACM CEO. "Consumers are moving toward wireless-only solutions in some cases, and VoIP substitution in others. While revenues in this particular segment will decline, this same technology migration is driving growth in other telecom segments such as wireless services and Internet access. " Total wireless revenues will overtake total wireline revenues by 2014, according to the study, and consumer Internet access growth will continue, adding $7 billion to the market through 2014. "Internet access growth will be driven by fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) plays by AT&T, Verizon and Qwest, which are projected to benefit from a compounded annual growth rate of 28-percent in revenues for those products from 2008 to 2014," said Smith.
