PeDaSp,

I am not hostile to VOIP. I like you believe it has the potential to be a huge threat to the main telcos in their present market place. However, rather like NGM I do feel it is still in the development stage at present, and not fit yet for more general usage.

When there is a proper selection of terminal equipment at a reasonable price to offer a reliable pc-less always-on VIOP telephone equivalent I shall be quick to take it up. It is just that I do not feel that the development is at that stage yet. For instance just as I feel Nuclear Power generation is the hope for the future, I do not believe that current nuclear power stations should yet be on-stream. I believe in reality that they are too dangerous particularly with the dangerous radio-active waste which is generated, with an ESTIMATED half life of about 3000 years! Once proper, safe commercial processes of nuclear fusion are developed then it will be the time for safe and widespread on-stream use. It is similar I feel with VOIP at present (not in respect of it being dangerous of course, but in respect of the current formats not being suitable yet for widespread use).

As an example of my preparedness to change, I am at present seriously considering ditching my BT telephone line altogether and going over to wireless internet, using mobile phones for voice at present. I would then save my monthly BT rental costs.

So please accept, I am not at all hostile towards VOIP.
