How can someone really say that VOIP is just the beginning of providing services over IP networks? I have been receiving services such as web, ftp, radio and video over IP networks. This whole voice calling thing, for me, came after all of that.
That's like saying that HDTV is just a beachhead and there will be AMAZING services offered over RF in the future.
Maybe that's why I can't understand marketing. To me technologies like RSS aren't exciting enought o get my attention since XML over HTTP has been around for ages. The whole difference is how you package it and sell it.
I guess if they can "sell" the internet to people all over again as SOIP then he's right. Intead of hooking your computer up to the internet, you really need to buy a web appliance, a VOIP phone and a set top box for downloading movies. Your computer does the internet, but these new devices from Intel do SOIP! There's a HUGE difference!
