if everything was all sip all the time (or whatever protocol) then it
would eliminate a lot of the businesses that sell telephone minutes.
The carriers seem to like actually being able to stay in business,
provide jobs, etc.
I do not think any industry will seek to destroy its place in the
market, in fact I would be suprised if that were the case. I instead
expect that any industry would seek to stay alive, especially when there
are billions of dollars invested and to be made each year.
