Abstract
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, we saw the 1+ long distance voice market change radically. Margins shrank as prices decreased at over 10 percent per year. Minutes of long distance became a commodity that, by definition, could not be differentiated among competitors except by price. The introduction of VoIP helped to accelerate price competition in the market in the US and worldwide. Now we are seeing the same trend in the audio conferencing services market. However, Frost & Sullivan is expecting the market to continue significant growth in the short term due to the increased understanding of enterprise management of the benefits of conferencing in general.
