That depends on your business plan, or lack of one, as well as how you go 
to market and what your capitalization is. Either you will have the money 
to step up to the plate and fight to survive, or you'll be bought (or 
squeezed) out of the market.

VoIP is similar to the Dial Up market in many ways, except that the 
barrier to entry is a little higher, and the responsibility to the 
end-user is much greater. As a VoIP provider you are going to have to 
answer to the FCC, as it appears the Telco lobbyists are winning the 
battles.

As someone that has been in the ISP business for 10 years, and seen the 
change from an immature to boom to mature market, I sit back and look 
at VoIP and see many of the same patterns emerging.
