If you're looking for evidence that wholesale VoIP is looking good, just check out Verizon's numbers. This week Verizon's Global Wholesale VoIP unit announced that its VoIP minutes of use grew more than 200 percent in 2009 over the past year--and that's after celebrating 10 years in the business.

Verizon Global Wholesale provides a variety of call origination and termination solutions for customers with multinational needs.

"Since we launched our VoIP portfolio 10 years ago, we've seen steady growth reflecting customer desire for reliable, cost-effective IP voice services," said Mike Millegan, president of Verizon Global Wholesale in the release. "And, as this market grows, we continue to add new VoIP services while enhancing our existing portfolio."
