Comments on: Has VoIP succeeded? http://mrblog.org/2007/02/12/has-voip-succeeded/ Mr Blog. Very technical, or silly, sometimes absurd.

Thanks to Skype and Vonage leading the way, it'll soon be a household name. We're currently see every telco and network company cater towards VoIP technology. I dont think VoIP will overtake the current mobile market, but I do see a synergy between cellular networks and VoIP technology. VoIP HAS succeeded.
