"In 2013 alone, Skype carried an estimated 214 billion minutes of international “on-net” calls (from one Skype app to another, rather than calls made from Skype to a regular phone), TeleGeography said in a report released today. That’s up 36% on the previous year.
More importantly, Skype’s traffic was almost 40% the size of the entire conventional international telecom market — that is, for every ten minutes spent making international phone calls on every mobile and landline network in the entire world, four minutes are spent on Skype.
