In 2008, there was 74,933,786,026 minutes of traffic out of the United
States to international destinations.

That doesn't include intra-US traffic, or traffic from other destinations.

In 2008, TeleGeography estimated the total number of international traffic
at 366 billion minutes. [

33billion / .08] That's 30.5 billion minutes a month - not counting
domestic traffic!!

Whether or not you believe Ovetel is doing that kind of business, there are
folks out there who are. Your perception of the size of the international
voice market is misguided.
