When asked what business problem they are trying to solve, 32 percent of large-enterprise respondents to a recent Yankee Group survey say “lowering the overall cost of voice and data networking” is the objective. Survey respondents say domestic long distance calling, international long-distance and local telephony connections are the three areas that would deliver the highest cost savings.

Spending by businesses on wired and cellular calling will hit $133 billion by the close of 2008. A new research report study predicts that cellular calling will account for nearly 39 percent of the corporate phone bill for telecommunication services in 2008, and is the fastest growing expense area.
