Revenue flows in the VoIP market

[tanjimajuha20]

Anyone with B2B experience knows that when accounts aren’t settled promptly, a business can quickly find itself handicapped, or worse. When your business involves multiple partners, operating in a rapidly fluctuating market, revenue liquidity can become a critical risk factor.


A VoIP connection often germany telegram takes a route that makes no geographical sense. Instead, routing follows a gradient dictated by a combination of network traffic, tariff structures and call quality considerations. That route will involve an array of routers, servers, trunks, wired and wireless networks owned by many different companies. Consequently, the number of parties involved in providing services to each other is large and constantly shifting, and so are the revenue streams that pay for them.

While the hardware backbone of VoIP is owned by a whole range of IT and telecom companies around the world, it is the access provider, such as IDT, that delivers the connections to the end users. Essentially, these providers negotiate routing channels on a wholesale basis. They constantly compete to find the cheapest way to connect calls across the Net and from the Net to local phone networks when needed. So, in addition to delivering the service to the person making a call, the wholesale provider is dependent on a great deal of B2B activity.
