I think Vonage would be jet set to replace all the telcos, if it were not for its spotty 911 service.
I don't see it taking over anytime soon, the hassle of the service and it's technical flaws limit it to skilled people. Also the cost of the service and network downtime issues hander it's reliability.
It's just not worth it where I live. I can get a Phone card that has long distance for 3 cents a second. Or design a hardware device that directly connects to Net2Phone for less than the service fee.
If I want unlimited free unregulated chat I can use a Ps2 or a BOX setup with free UserToUser connections.
The problem with this setup is EVERYONE that wants to call me or I want to call needs one.
Vonage pricing isn't any better than the phone services people don't want to pay taxes.
