– Traditional phone companies’ share of the residential market has dropped to 74% from 90% over the past two years, and will shrink to 51% by 2012.
– Cable operators, which offer VoIP-based phone services, are expected to have 31.4 million subscribers, or 26% market share, in 2012.
– Wireless-only households currently number about 12 million, and are expected to more than double to 26 million—a 22% share—in the same time period.
