color=#0000ff size=2>Why do we need to promote voip adoption? Its not as
reliable and suffers from call quality issues. The people that are running
around screaming about promoting VoIP (as in ITSP's) are actually doing more
harm than good to the market. The only reliable VoIP service is if you are
getting it directly from your circuit carrier so it never goes out onto the open
internet. If you want to play in that space as a residential user, then be my
guest, but in the business market where companies have to rely on their phone
service to be up and actually be able to use their phones, then VoIP is not the
right choice today. So NO, we should not do anything we can to promote
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
