The U.K. market research firm Juniper Research might be putting the kibish on Cisco’s version of the iPhone, while tacitly giving Apple’s iPhone a shot at a rosier future. In a new research repert, Juniper forecasts the worldwide market for VoIP-over-Wi-Fi equipment will expand to some $82 million by 2012, with the North American market accounting for some $35 billion of that revenue. However, while dual mode handsets which can connect to both cellular and Wi-Fi networks will enjoy wide market adoption, single-mode VoIP handsets which only offer services via Wi-Fi will be shunted to the margins, accounting for only $1.5 billion of 2012’s $82 billion in revenue, or just 1.5 percent of the overall market.
