Skype Share of International Traffic

February 1st, 2010

TeleGeography found that the projected growth of international telephone traffic was almost halved in 2009 – to a mere 8 percent – while Skype’s growth accelerated by 51 percent.
TeleGeography also notes that over the past 25 years, international call volume from telephones has grown at a compounded annual rate of 15 percent. In the past two years, however, international telephone traffic growth has slowed to only 8 percent on an annual basis, growing to an estimated 406 billion minutes in 2009 from 376 billion minutes in 2008.
Skype’s on-net international traffic (between two Skype users) is projected to grow 63 percent in 2009, to 54 billion minutes. In comparison, the Skype-to-Skype traffic grew 51 percent in 2008.
At the end of 2008, Skype had 405 million registered users. Since then the company has passed the 525 million user-mark.
