ABI offers SIP, UMA forecasts

The analysts at ABI Research certainly have been busy. They've released two new research briefs: one on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and another on Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA). The SIP brief forecasts that SIP services will become the norm after 2010 and rapidly come to dominate the world's telecom markets. ABI says by 2012 about half of all telecom users will be using at least one SIP-based service, which in turn will generate more than $150 billion in annual service revenue. In the UMA brief, ABI forecasts that because of delays in the the development of competing solutions, Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) will capture 65 million fixed mobile convergence subscribers by 2012.
