Cliff,
Thank you for your response. I did visitt www.spirit32.com but was unable to find the information that I was looking for. I appreciate your offer to have your VP of tech available to me.

I understand that the infrastructure is being built out at a tremendous rate, however this is not the real issue that I was concerned with. There are some inherent limitations to the amount of delay that the human ear (and brain) is willing to tolerate before communications become strained to the point of requiring CB radio style communication (e.g. "Hi, This is Jorj...over""Hi Jorj, this is Cliff....Over"). Right now the internet has all kinds of delays and delay variation which would make true quality internet telephony an unrealistic expectation. This is really a Quality of Service issue when it comes to the internet (voice packets would get no more priority than data packets). Fiber, satellite and processor advances would do little to alleviate these issues.

If however, we are talking about IP telephony (different than "internet telephony") then many of these issue go away if you have a network that has adequate Quality of Service differentiation.

I do agree that much of the technology that is currently being developed and deployed will affect our lives in more ways than can be imagined. But I am also very aware of the hurdles that have to be overcome to get there.

I will send my questions to Alex, but wanted to clarify the issues as I saw them.
Thanks,
JXM
