My spin:I most recently touched on voice over Internet calling, in my IP/PBX article - focused on Altigen - article. IP telephony is hear to stay and is only going to increase in strength. I don't see this technology replacing circuit based telphone lines any time soon but growing and possibly suprasing it in shear quantity - sure.
