Major Increase in Telecom Traffic Internationally per the FCC

This is from the 2004 International Telecom Data report the FCC compiles. Traffic jumped from 48 Billion minutes in 2003 to 63.6 Billion minutes in 2004. Quite a healthy little zip up if you ask me. The bad news? Revenues decreased while payments to international carriers went up. US revenues were down 4%. Re-sale traffic revenues and minutes were on the same general curves—down and up. And we wonder why the telcos are wanting to charge for content provider access across their networks. They are in a real pickle. Real disruption is occurring in telecom and I for one don't think it will slow. In fact I believe it will sharply accelerate.
