The Geography of SIPKnowledge as
a micro model of SIP global Geography
We believe that the distribution
of SIPKnowledge students
& customers around the globe may serve as a micro model for the
overall world distribution of SIP and IP telephony. Therefore you may find the
following numbers and geographical distribution
interesting...
SIPKnowledge students
& customers are spread over ~90
countries. They span 5 major sectors (Commercial, Educational,
Government,
Non-Profit-Org, Army), ~65 diff companies and ~40 universities.
There are clear signs for Internet Telephony mania
world wide (This market
is estimated to grow up to (at least) $20 Billion around 2006 (This includes but
not limited to Network
equipment (hardware, software), transmission lines (i.e.
addition of new Internet and intranet lines and more Access Network
infrastructure), end-user equipment, network management, security equipment and
management, services etc.)). The rapid spread of
advanced data telecomm technologies such as VoIP, Video Telephony and Instant Messaging and Presence (based on enablers such
as SIP, HTTP,
DNS and RTP)
will definitely make the world a smaller place to live in.
