Raymond,
I am very familiar with Frank's thread as well as the issues surrounding latency with VoIP. I wasn't really asking a question but pointing out the long term issues with SONS. I do believe that end to end VoIP will happen....eventually. But as you say, the internet is a jitterfest and therefore not real conducive for quality real time communications like video or voice. I believe the bell spec for end to end delay is 200 milliseconds, though 250 milliseconds is generally an acceptable guideline. So basically, you can assume that I am not talking about ubiquitous end to end VoIP carried over the same network as the regular "Internet" traffic. The only place that I think that it makes sense to have the voice and the data packets hanging out together is in the last mile. And as you can guess, this ain't going to be something that happens overnight.
