With that caveat here go I: It is not surprising that Whitacre mouthed some pleasantries about VoIP; otherwise the Street would have labeled him Luddite. But we noteworthy segments is what the spokesman said: they will start with enterprises and then move to small business and homes. For me this means that they will focus on IP Centrex first. Unlike other IP PBX offerings, IP Centrex is anchored in PSTN and is a technology solution that enhances the traditional PSTN service. They will also offer a nominal VoIP service to influence other VoIP service providers. It looks like many commentators and FCC itself agree on this. FCC has placed some explicit restrictions on SBC in the recent ruling regarding TipTop tariff.
