Analyst Opinion

The use of classic voice telephony over public telephone networks is increasingly being replaced by voice and video calls over the internet. This development is leading to declining revenues in this segment in all regions. Countries with an especially well-developed landline infrastructure and a particularly strong distribution of classic telephony are seeing the largest declines in revenues. It is likely that this development will continue in the future.
