I would venture to say the lion's share of laptop users are not technical types but rather business users. I would think the average spreadsheet toting sales person would love to have a cellular modem complete with voice capability. Moreover, the volume of non-realtime voice traffic (after the tone...) is certainly an application screaming for IP telephony. Voice can be created locally and transmitted over IP to be reconstructed by the voicemail system. Realtime conversation is at least possible, too. I assume they are working on new protocols for IP telephony which wring out extra speed using ultra-slack data integrity -- who give's a rat's about loosing a voice packet or two. Why do we need proprietary systems if they get There from Here with improvements to IP? BTW, that's not a rhetorical question.
