Yes 53 octet cells and IP packets do not go together well. But when you scale up to a carrier backbone, virtual circuits do work very well. A carrier can resell his fiber over and over and over (you get the idea). So a stretch of fiber connecting 10GB switch ports, can carry over a terabit of VC's.

In an enterprise network, you can take the narrow view. But in a carrier network, you take the broad view.
