In its new study, Juniper Research has found that Mobile VoIP services will develop significantly faster in developed markets due to the direct correlation between 3G roll outs and the uptake of mobile VoIP. According to the research company, this is despite the fact that mVoIP traffic volumes may eventually be higher in developing countries.

Further findings from the report titled “Mobile Voice Strategies: mVoIP Opportunities & Business Models, 2010-2015″ include:

  • Alliances between mobile VoIP players and mobile operators may provide the best option for today’s incumbent carriers to address the advent of mobile VoIP.
  • Revenues from the standard voice market will continue to diminish over the next five years, although this will not accelerate.
  • A high percentage of Mobile VoIP carried over applications will be via WiFi networks, bypassing operators’ networks altogether. Such traffic will result in lost revenues of up to $5 billion by 2015.

And you can get additional information from Juniper’s website.
