Is VoIP doomed? Having agreed that voice will go wireless, what chances does VoIP -squeezing voice into the LAN-WAN interconnection- stand?

Since, as we discussed, voice -one line, public service telephony- is ported to the more efficent medium, we said that fixed telco operators would be hard pressed to use thier existing wired infrastruture to serve broadband. Which means that these operators will build VoDSL platforms.
At a Small/Medium enterprise, your PABX and your LAN to an Integrated Access Device. You route that to your DSLAM (this DSLAM seats at the ILEC wire center). From there on over DS-3/OC-3 over a packet network to the C.O. There the gateway gets all the packets and convert them to TDM and route them to the Class5 switch. We can call that VoIP or VoATM but that its not the Cisco melody.

The problem for CSCO in the Edge is this Siara machine being bought by Redback. Compared with the battle on the edge, the battle on the core was a sunday in the park.
