According to a recent telecommunications market analysis by Dialog Consult and VATM logged daily from mobile phones in Germany. This marks the third consecutive year of decline in mobile telephony. Over-the-top (OTT) providers such as Skype and FaceTime are partly responsible for this decline. Currently, 265 million call minutes are handled daily via software-based OTT telephony. The downward trend in fixed-line connections continues unabated. However, with 325 million call minutes, landline telephony still accounts for the largest share of voice traffic in Germany.
