Well, I will take a stab at this...

ATM allows for the use of Quality of Service which allows you to prioritize traffic. This is very important with converged Networks (Data, Voice, and Video). You can give a higher quality of service to Video and guarantee a better quality during a Video Conference.
Voice as well will be able to take advantage of this by being able to provide toll quality voice over a packet Network.

This ATM over IP is also becoming more prevalent with your WAN carriers now offering ATM WAN services. Such as AT&T's INC Network.
