Funny, but I agree with this guy.
There is no savings with VoIP. None. Call termination costs money. Switching calls costs money. Converged network costs money to run, same as TDM network. Converged network with proper QoS may cost *more* money to run vs same TDM network. Vonage (and sunrocket, etc, consumer voip) business model is based on a) losing money on every customer but making it up in volume b) having customers accept subpar call quality (because of no guarantees of internet-wide QoS) in exchange for lower fee. The retail consumer voip model does not work. I've said this 4 years ago, when vonage first came out, and it is coming true now.
