Once this happens, the phones companies are screwed (not that they’re not screwed already), because they have no experience in doing anything by transmission/distribution.

We’ve gone form Voice being the whole network, to VoIP, where Voice is just another application, to the inevitable conclusion that Voice will be reduced to a (free) feature within a much larger offering.

If the phone companies where smart they’d start acquiring software talent.
