[Asterisk-biz] Need some statistics & facts

[Ronald_Wiplinger]

There is nothing more than figures, right?

I asked this at the asterisk users list first, but I realize that it is 
better to find an answer here, where people need such figures in order 
to find the right business direction.

I am looking for:
1. How many phone lines are currently in this world (I estimate 800 
billion analog lines)
2. How many data lines are currently in this world (I estimate 1 billion)
3. what is the forcast of 1 & 2 ? When will it swap?
4. How many PBX are in use? I guess that a part will be extended with 
FXO to the Interent. Some will be replaced at all, because of missing 
features.
5. Which countries favour VoIP? Which countries forbid VoIP?

Where are the cheapest / best ADSL lines available?
Hongkong, Korea, Japan    is my guess


bye
