In the telcos, the VoIP transition is already well in hand in the network. The big problem has always been what to do about the Class 5 infrastructure which connects every home to the voice network. Broadband and "route-around" schemes like Vonage, Packet8, and Skype are solving that by packetizing the voice and shipping it out on the residential data feed.
