Roger: You said: <The scenario I'm interested to explore though is one where voice traffic is carried over the data connection (and in particular, how this could become rich, data-enhanced, voice)>
In a nutshell, and down-sizing my verbiage, "rich, data-enhanced voice" is the Internet Protocol, nothing less, nothing more. In all due respect, your making "assigned verbiage" sound like something terrestrial.
This isn't rocket-science, even though it may have taken science-rocket more than fills a mans pocket. <gg> I myself, try to keep things basic because its always been the evolution of thought, and not that of revolution by nature.
If your getting information from a articles, NASA, or somewhere else, please inform, I would really be interested.
You said <new, compelling, applications and devices that integrate voice and data, and what is the infrastructure required to support them>
Basically, its all the PSTN standards that will integrate over to IP, i.e. messaging,fax,voice, etc, that will be the "compelling applications that integrate data and voice.
I may be wrong, but I think that over the next few thousand articles, the edge's will smooth themselves out so that your comments begin to narrow in range.
You said: <<"That 'exchange' would also need to have both IP AND PSTN interfaces (ie in both of those two - or even three - clouds on the left of your picture), so that the POTS infrastructure in the home would work too">>
As Einstein would have said if given the chance, PI also equals a great taste only matched by your mother. Without the basic understanding of PI, which I don't have, the universe also tries to stratagem me ! <gg>
