My understanding is that in order to get VoIP to work confidently it must be routed over a VPN to ensure priority in routing of smaller-sized voice packets that get would otherwise be subordinated to routing of larger sized data packets.

To me this means diminished QoS for the data portion of the network, which IMHO, is particularly vulnerable when we consider VoIP over shared HFC pipe, particularly the co-axial portion.

I just think rollout of VoIP over HFC will be slow in coming. The cablecos & T will be careful not to kill the commonly perceived "goose that laid the golden-egg" - broadband access for data, though I personally believe this perception to be "fool's gold," preferring DSL & VDSL over the short & longer term, respectively.
