The hosted IP telephony market continues to be challenged. Despite the promises of lower capital expenditures, ease of use, and flexibility, hosted IP telephony has failed to gain mass adoption so far. Lack of education has been a contributing factor, as service providers have not marketed hosted services very effectively.

Furthermore, advanced on-premises solutions continued to gain traction over the past few years, as vendors aggressively pursued the old time division multiplexing (TDM) installed base for new deployment opportunities. Over the past couple of years, equipment vendors made significant efforts to enable the integration of their premises-based platforms with other communications and business applications in complex unified communications (UC) and communication-enabled business process (CEBP) environments. These technology advancements and aggressive pricing have driven the adoption rate of premises-based IP telephony. Hosted IP telephony providers, on the other hand, continue to market their services primarily as cost-effective voice communications, which has limited their value proposition for business customers.
