Dave, I gotta go a step further. Not only are there serious security
issues to be addressed in most VoIP implemetations (are you a professional
of any sort with private client or patient records? Think about the
potential liability!), but as the Times article pointed out, the telcos
are getting into this now because they are finally comfortable with their
ability to end-run some of the regulatory issues by doing so.

I work for one of those telcos, by the way. Sure, we'll lose
some "traditioal" revenue. But with the spate of recent announcements,
VoIP should officially be viewed as a tool of the big guys. Your money
will follow, soon enough.
