Define "better". Is WMV better than MPEG? Is RealAudio or AAC better than Ogg? Is Windows better than NetBSD? AOL better than Willamette.NET? eBooks better than text files? Currently, there is an open standard for VoIP and a bunch of small players. There's no natural monopoly as long as the bulk of users stay with the open protocols. If a critical number of people adopt a closed protocol, a natural monopoly will develop because of Metcalfe's Law. Then VoIP will be screwed. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
