I think VOIP will grow as soon as they can put a fast enough chip inside your cell phone to provide quality VOIP over your home wireless network, while still having the same style and features that you expect from your cellphone, so that you have true duel use. Today's VOIP phone are ugly and featureless compared to cell phones. But they are working on it.

Look at my situation. I have a cell phone and VOIP service from Vonage. When I use my cell phone at home, I have to go outside to use it because it doesn't work in my house. Not only that, but I'm using minutes. If it had a good VOIP chip in it, then it would switch to my VOIP service in my house automatically, and I'd save cell minutes and have better service, while still having all the stuff on my cell phone I expect. That's a big win to me.
