Average Call Duration is the average talk time of all the successful calls. As we all probably know, long conversations are only feasible with good call quality. Hence, the Average Call Duration statistics is an indication of our call quality performance.

Call Success Rate illustrates the percentage of successful call connections over total calls initiated by users. A call connection is defined successful once Hoiio establishes link to the calling destinations with either a ringing or engaged tone.

Time really flies. Just realized I have spent the last 6 years of my life on entrepreneurship. We started by selling mobile VAS to telecoms, followed by providing solutions for telecoms. And since H2, 2009, we started to dream of becoming a telecom.

Indeed. Entrepreneurs’ lives are never dull. It’s full of twists and turns as we pursue our ultimate dream of achieving a highly scalable and profitable business model.

Thinking about Hoiio tonight, many emotions are starting to run through me. Perhaps, this is a night to share them.

• Firstly, I am happy. After nearly 18 months of operating only in Singapore, we will be finally launching globally. Hoiio will now be available in 137 countries, supporting multiple languages and currencies.
• Next, I am feeling optimistic and yet jittery. Will the market understand and buy my dream for Hoiio?
• Lastly, I really felt like kicking myself. What took me so long to decide on a global launch?

Well. Let’s look ahead. My views of the telecom industry and my dreams of Hoiio are in the slides below. As a reader for this blog, a voter in the democratic free market that is known as the world wide web, please do feel free to comment. Thanks in advance.

Hoiio helps you call your contacts from wherever you are without the need for any prefixes or IDD codes. Simply use a “+” followed by the country code and the phone number.

For example, when calling UK(+44) from the US, simply dial “+44 21 1234 4321” instead of “011 44 21 1234 4321”.
