Why would it be easier to migrate from voice to data than the other way around? I'm not a super-tech, but it seems that the migration is really one of circuit-based networking to packet-based, regardless of the traffic. The convergence is happening BECAUSE packet-based networking has advanced to the point it has. It may be easier to ensure quality-of-service on circuit based networks, but those methodologies don't carry over into the packet-based world. IF this is true, it seems the data guys have the lead. All LU/NT are bringing to the game is an installed customer base, a considerable checkbook, and a realization that they need to do this to survive. Not to say that this won't be enough.
