The device is described as being used for “consumer broadband access and networking,” which doesn’t sound like vanilla VoIP to me. Microsoft goes on to say that the device would use OFDM as its communications protocol, not WiFi or Bluetooth.

I havent dug up the original FCC document, but this sounds like VoIP over WiFi (802.11n?) to me. It uses OFDM and can be used for broadband access/networking.

I might be able to see Microsoft going with WiMAX next year, but '07 seems a bit early....
