The internet has long promised that it will change the world.  Certainly its arrival has changed many aspects of our daily lives, for better or for worse.  Often the impact has under delivered relative to the preceeding hype.  What about the promise of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol?

Will Internet based technologies replace the Switched Voice Infrastructure?  Will VOIP be the compelling application that moves telecom financial models from “minutes” to “data connections”? Who will lead the charge with a compelling set of market solution?  What will happen to the circuit switched carriers when VOIP becomes broadly deployed?

Come hear the lowdown from the leading industry experts in the VOIP equipment & services sectors, along with a user perspective on “life with networked phones”.
