LOl! All these new age techno hypster/pumpers have apparently given up on thier faded dream of m-commerce, so now they're hyping VoIp. VoIP is basically a very sexy topic right now. But in north america, there's no business case for it. For businesses, it's one MORE ADDITIONAL system to manage. It doesn't replace anything. For LD retail consumers it's great becuase it sure is cheaper than regular LD, but it could prove to be the demise of the att's of the world.
