It is not nearly as versatile as VoIP in that you can not take your number with you
This is incorrect. I took my Bellsouth POTS number to Time Warner Digital Phone, then to Vonage and then to Nuvio.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about taking your phone with you... (sorry I see where the confusion came from). In this case I'm not talking about number porting...

With Packet8 I can take my broadband adapter anywhere in the world (as long as the ports aren't blocked) and plug the box into the internet and have the same phone. I can go on vacation to Taiwan and take my box with me, plug it in and still have the same Tennessee phone number while in Taiwan. You can not do that with digital voice.
