Overall, very few consumers (albeit an increasing number, but nowhere near mainstream) know what this new "legitimate" carrier realm of Internet voice is all about. Most lay folk still think of it in negative, hobbyist terms.

Frank, this is a very important observation. Made me think back to Crossing the Chasm. As Geoffry Moore observed, the key to crossing the chasm is to make the bleeding edge technology both safe to the mass market and for it to show up in normal business information technology systems.

I think this will happen when VoIP is just yet another IP protocol like the 100s before it. Question is how far out is that point in the market?
