Well..............maybe this is naive, but I am looking at VOIP from the CSCO, Nortel, Avaya.....and now perhaps even the, dare I say it, MSFT Unified Communications side of it.

If these guys and their partners can sell the hardware and software and handsets.....someone, somehow, somewhere, will provide the pipes.

I am definitely also considering primarily the corporate/enterprise market, not the consumer market. On the other hand, sometime off in the future, perhaps some of the applications useful to the enterprise can be resold as subscription services to consumers for a 'small monthly fee'.

For example...what if the phone rings, and you begin a conversation. It is your spouse telling you what to get at the supermarket on the way home. Now, you know you never can remember half of what is on the list. Sure, you say to yourself...bread, peanut butter, jelly, milk...they all go together...thats 4 things...and there are 3 other things. 7 things...if I can put the first 4 together, yeah, I can figure out the last 3. I'm good. Well, what if during the conversation you can press a button and record the call...not just the rest of the call, but the entire call from it's beginning. Would that ability be worth a few bucks a month, especially if packaged with some other cool stuff?
