Skype 2007: An Analysis

Here is some very interesting information about Skype 2007 from a conclusion and prediction standpoint:

Looking at the study it is essentially speaking of Skype utilization globally. With a close inspection of simultaneous online data, you can distinguish trends and demographics on the way Skype is growing.

It is predicted that Skype will continue to grow through 2007, adding twelve million new individual Skype users to its customer base of twenty-one million three hundred thousand customers. It is notable that this growth is exponentially faster that 2006. It is also notable that this is only a small fraction of the world’s population. Even in regard to the United States population, this is only 11% of the its population.

Interestingly in the Asia Pacific region, Skype has experienced lagging growth in comparison to other regions; however, it may begin to close in on the American Continents and to the European and African region in 2007. Due to the lack of broadband service and price issues the Eastern world has fell behind. In addition, political issues also play in. State-run telco monopolies are trying to cope with the coming blitz of lower cost internet protocol communication.

In the enterprise context, business utilization of Skype is still trailing consumer use.  Markedly, Skype is adding more high-end features and services that set Skype apart from the smaller VOIP companies. The small companies main advantage is low cost long distance rates.

Skype has definitely set itself apart in the consumer space with the advent of the Skype Wifi phone. The phone is low cost and the large VOIP and switched-line carriers are not playing here. 2007 is the year of the consumer using Skype for “common” everyday telephone use.

From a profitability standpoint, Skype will continue to focus on promotions based on price; but, Skype will probably not be as hard lined as they were in 2006. Growth will be sustained eventhough they raise prices.

2007 should put Skype in a position of fewer struggles than its competition in this space.

The perception and utilization of Skype is changing due to improved and growing broadband wireless networks.

Skype is changing and becoming a force in the world of social networking, collaboration and the futuristic “borderless network.”  Skype 2007 will increasingly support the Web 2.0 and group-ware concepts.
