VOIP service providers targeting Russian-Americans and Russians residing in the former Soviet Union are on the verge of mergers and acquisitions triggered by changing economic and competitive situation in both countries. Carriers in the U.S. that dominate Russian-American telecom niche are mainly startups offering inexpensive connectivity to major cities in the former Soviet Union. These carriers have exhausted their cost sitting potential and as their customer care and acquisition costs are climbing have to look for new ways to lower their telecom costs, or which expanding network into regions where they terminate the most calls is one of the most obvious scenarios. Carriers in the former Soviet Union and especially in the Russian Federation have arrived as a similar crossroads but via a differed path. Russian telecom industry is on the brink of deregulation, a function of Russian entry into WTO expected this year. While this process is a two way street it is expected to deliver Russia's largest long distance carrier, Rostelecom, into the VOIP market, in a fight to reclaim the long distance minutes it is losing to VOIP. This means that Russian carriers should do whatever possible to consolidate their position on major international routes, with acquisitions being a major strategy in achieving a competitive advantage.
