I think a lot of analysts are understanding that. Other VoIP telephony companies carrying traffic in this manner will tell you voice will all live on the public Internet. They want you to believe that, but it s not going to be true. Carriers will not carry their traffic over a network if they can t control the QoS. That s what we re banking on, and that is the impression that the carriers give us. So at this point it doesn t look as if voice will ever be over the public Internet.
People today think that there s a lot of voice on the public Internet.
Some public companies release their quarterly reports showing how many minutes they re pushing across their networks. For example, take three providers that I m aware of, ITXC, Net2Phone or iBasis. ITXC released that they pushed 201 million minutes in the second quarter this year. IP telephony really hasn t come into its own yet from a capacity standpoint. MCI is not going to say, Well, let s just stop using our switches and let the Internet switch it all, they ve got this big backbone.
