TeleGeography is an analysis providing company, which estimated the international traffic in the network Skype, as well as traditional telephone communications channels - wired and mobile.
According to estimates, in 2013 the total duration of international calls between Skype users reached 214 billion minutes, an increase compared with 2012, the approximately 54 billion minutes. Ie on-year growth was approximately 36%.
Load on traditional phone lines is also growing, but at a slower rate five times. So, in 2013, the total duration of international calls via fixed and mobile channels rose by 7% compared to 2012 - from 512 to 547 billion minutes. It should be noted that over the past two decades, the growth in the telecommunications sector has averaged 13% per year.
Despite the fact that the total international traffic in traditional telephone lines until 2.5 times greater than the traffic Skype, it is obvious that it is because of IP-telephony services are reduced overall growth in fixed and mobile communication channels.
Let us remind you that the company Skype was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström Swede and Dane Janus Friis. By the end of 2010 the network had over 660 million registered users. In May of 2011, Skype was acquired by Microsoft for $8.5 billion.
