IP telephony projections:
Excerpted from netinsider.com
"We're starting to see it pick up this year, in
1998. Certainly I'm looking by 2001, 2002, for
somewhere between 15 to 30 percent of all voice
traffic to be IP-based."
"I think around the world today it is, in fact, the major carriers,
in Europe especially, that are providing leadership by
rolling out the first wave of IP-based voice services."
