Well, everything soon will be VOIP as BT are upgrading all
their network to IP swtiched one, so all voice traffic will be carried
by IP packets.

For most people VOIP is not technology but price of calls - very cheap. There is no reason why BT selling unlimited (recently limited actually) 512k broadband for £25 a month, while making unlimited voice calls should take less than 10% of line's capacity.

The only reason why they don't do it now is their revenue dependency on plain old voice calls, but as soon as they wire everyone to broadband they will intro what the doctor ordered - voice calls for all 24/7 for affordable monthly fee.

WiFi chips in phones is definately going to happen, well, as soon as they figure
out how to extend battery life!
