Of those businesses with 100 employees or less polled by Star, 41 per cent are already using VoIP phones and have been since they first emerged in the late 90s.
Another 20 per cent of SMBs plan to implement VoIP over the next year, meaning that VoIP penetration could increase by 50 per cent in that time.

Just nine per cent saw security issues as a potential concern, putting them below quality, reliability and network capabilities as a barrier to VoIP adoption.
