Research firm Dell'Oro Group has released a new report which predicts that the IP telephony market will stabilize in 2010.

"The housing market is showing signs of improvement, and this may accelerate the growth of voice-over-IP subscribers during 2010, according to the report," writes TMCnet's Anshu Shrivastava. "In addition, aggressively priced bundled service offerings from service providers are also expected to help in acceleration of VoIP subscribers this year."

"Tools such as speech-to-text will go beyond such providers as Google Voice to be incorporated into other business and residential voice offerings, further driving demand," writes VoIP Planet's Adam Stone.

"Beyond 2010, we forecast the market to grow in the low single-digits through 2014," says Dell'Oro Group vice president Greg Collins. "Future growth in broadband subscribers will likely be boosted over the next five years by government initiatives, such as the National Broadband Plan in the United States, which will target greater availability and adoption of broadband services to hard-to-service customers and customers who otherwise are unable to afford it."
