The sub-trends include ongoing fixed-mobile substitution, and recently also a decline in mobile calling, both of which have been amplified by the acceleration in over-the-top voice/multimedia usage during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some local UC&C platform players are actively integrating it into their omni-channel communication solutions, notably Telviva with their Telviva One and Telviva Engage offerings.
