In Response to the comment VoIP is Dead
Another thing to remember is that VoIP is now at the edge. Broadband gives us pipes. So what do we do with these pipes. SMS is still active in the world and it uses a fraction of voice's bandwidth requirements. Likewise voice can be a fraction of the broadband pipe.
The point Jeff has come away with is that VoIP is not the only beneficiary of the pipe and like VoIP the power has left the hands of the status quo and now is in the hand of the interested consumer or would - be new business.
VON on the Voice side had lots of interesting stories and maintained its own buzz, but in the general public's world, "a picture is worth a thousand words". So its no surprise that VoIP was not the star for most people.
I do not feel left behind, in fact I feel that the VoIP community is more focused than ever. We took over landline, we are taking over wireless. VoIP is moving.
