Frank,

I by no means disavow the potential of voice over IP in the corporate
market. I just think that the low hanging fruit is fax and store and
forward voice. Fax over IP will not change anyone's habits apropop
sending a fax and will save corporations tons of money. The average
Fortune 1000 company spends $15 million per year in fax. Using a
service like UUFAX will probably save a corporation 50-70% off their
fax bill.

Store and forward voice is a market that will develop quickly, too.
Imagine a sales manager for an international company able to address
all the sales people around the world by "broadcasting" a message
over IP...the applications are endless and can be as trite as leaving
a message when you will be home for dinner.

You mentioned that domestic savings are not so great when using voice
over IP in this country. The rates in our country are lower than
anywhere else. In Europe, for example, the domestic long distance
phone rates are significantly higher than here. It is cheaper, for
example, to call New York from Berlin than Bonn from Berlin.
