[Asterisk-biz] Need some statistics & facts

[Alex Pui]

Which world? I think on the world we are now here, there are only 6 billion
people and do we have 800 billion phone lines? I can't believe that.

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

Ronald
