[June 18, 2013] WebRTC Market Status & Forecasts Report 2013-2016 Featuring Google, Ericsson, Cisco, Telefonica and AT&T Tweet Jun 18, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rpcmq2/webrtc_market) has announced the addition of the "WebRTC Market Status & Forecasts: The Hype is Justified: It will Change Telecoms" report to their offering. The first full analysis of the WebRTC marketplace & value chain: Disruptive Analysis has been the key analyst company following WebRTC since June 2011, only weeks after Google first open-sourced the key audio/video components for web browsers. Since then, WebRTC has featured prominently on this blog, in Disruptive Analysis research reports & consulting, conferences and in Future of Voice workshops. Over 100 interviews, discussions & meetings have covered WebRTC. The report is 160 pages in length, including detailed commentary, analysis, forecasts and over 50 tables and charts - and forms the cornerstone of ongoing coverage throughout 2013 and beyond. More than 70 companies involved in WebRTC products & services are discussed. Key takeaways - WebRTC adds easy, flexible voice & video into websites and apps - Applicable across sectors: telecoms, consumer web, enterprise etc - One of most disruptive web/telecoms innovations for years - Extremely fast pace of evolution: weeks and months, not years - Microsoft & Apple slow, but unlikely to cause major roadblocks - 3bn capable devices & 1bn individual users by end-2016 - -0% penetration of PCs by end of 2013 - Smartphone & tablet WebRTC will ramp from 2H 2014 on - PCs adopt WebRTC through browser; phones/tablets more complex - Early use-cases for web calling, conferencing, e-learning & verticals - Strong interest for UC, contact centres & IMS, but will take time... - .... so telcos must start work now, to work through the issues - Magnifies OTT threat for telcos, but also helps Telco-OTT - - Numerous gateway sub-types for vendors to target - Peer-to-peer use of WebRTC to drive unexpected new web innovations - Monetisation of WebRTC will be heavily use-case dependent - Still early pre-standard implementation. Caution/patience needed - But for once, the hype is justified Disruptive Analysis is known for its contrarian stance on many technologies. Sometimes this is negative, and sometimes it is positive. In this case, it seems that the true scale and impact of WebRTC are being underestimated by many. While there is already a measure of hype around the technology, that is more general buzz, rather than a more forensic analysis of the potential implications on a sector-by-sector basis. Over the years, we have been accustomed to seeing new features appear in our web browsers - streaming video, scrolling timelines, auto-completing forms, in-page IM chat and so on. Typically we think that's neat! and start using it without much further thought. Soon, we see it crop up in all sorts of different websites - and also in hybrid native/web apps on our smartphones and tablets. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction & Strategic Issues 3. WebRTC use-cases 4. Stakeholders: impacts & recommendations 5. WebRTC market sizing & forecasts to 2016 6.
