Looking for Mr.Goodbar (unique features)

These days I feel I am in an echo chamber – I hear some set of statements about the new brave world of VoIP and the promised set of features. I want to present my analysis from a fresh perspective. But today I have nothing new to add. So I am just recording the statements.

Today’s story is from NetworkWorldFusion. There, Mark Kaish, BellSouth's vice president of data services says that regulators will treat packet voice on the same scale as PSTN and so he feels that reduced price will not be as attractive. “In the end, the features unique to IP voice will be the reason customers buy it, and at least initially that is business.” So what are some these features? The set quoted in the article is “Web interfaces to add and delete services, click-to-call, configure phones, see a list of who called, access calendaring and set the service to find users at different numbers.” Kevin Mitchell, an analyst at Infonetics says, “these are services impossible to deliver with traditional circuit-switched networks."
