Re: Not just too many VoIP providers...

Well its not quite affordable yet for non-profit. I got pricing for like 45 person business and the cost per Cisco phone is like 350. And for a small non-profit company that is still just to much.

They can keep a few lines of POTS connected to their PBX and the rest could be supplemented via cheaper VOIP lines. It still saves money when making long distance or International calls.

911 is VERY important for business. They are required to provide 911 to their employees, and if they use a traditional VOIP provider, this is not a sure bet at the moment.

However, business are using (and will increasingly use) VOIP interally for routing interoffice calls across their own network (saving money by bypassing the telcos).

however VoIP's biggest impact will be in the business arena.
I agree. I can see a lot of businesses moving their landlines to VoIP service to save money on long distance and other toll calls. For them the 911 issue isn't as big of a deal as it would be for a residential user.
