Re: Do You Skype?
Whether you realize it or not, much of the LD service today is already going IP! All the major carriers are using IP switches now instead of the traditional TDMA because it's cheaper for them to maintain. Legacy stuff is a bugger to keep updated. Many of the credit card transactions today are also going IP, which is kinda a scary thought when you think about who might be sniffing the cloud to see what they can grab. In my last company, where I managed the ecommerce payment gateway, I told management I wanted to continue to use a leased line to the transaction processor because at least I knew the transmission would be consistent (never know about network congestion on IP) and for security reasons.
