By 2015, :PSTN Voice Might be Only 10% of Total Lines

Axvoice has gathered up some nice overall statistics on the state of the telecom industry. No surprise: VoIP and mobile services are growing, landline voice is declining. By 2015, legacy voice lines using TDM might represent only about 10 percent of all voice lines in service. 


That is going to put huge pressure on incumbents who have to support those lines, and will lead to more pressure to decommission the entire public switched network, as the fixed costs of supporting that particular service will be hugely expensive, compared to either fixed network VoIP or mobile voice.
