The VoIP is dead stuff is obviously an exaggeration to make a point that you sum up with "excitement radar". VoIP is an interesting technology, but turning out to be the disruptive technology we expected. In fact, hybrid PBX systems can do it all, with a cheap digital phone and cat3 wire. I think your excitement radar is the key. And what is proving to excite, more than people will admit, is the cell phone. Android, Apple, Symbian, MS - these platforms, and these applications are proving to be the real disruptors. The sleeper disruptors - as we are now using our cell phones very differently than just a year ago. I think the PBX can eclipse it, but is on a current path of replacement by it - just as the cell phone has slowly replaced other technologies - resi landlines, answering machines, pay phones, PDAs.... VoIP PBXs? Please see my blog on this at http://pindropsoup.blogspot.com/2009/01/pbx-needs-to-change-or-die.html Thanks Dave This is an excellent post.

He’s so busy working with his head down and nose to the grindstone - doing real work in the real world - that he doesn’t get the respect he deserves for the wisdom and balance he brings to our industry.
