If Telecommunications Professionals want to consider VoIP as the enemy, then at least know your enemy and have ammunition to fight it. Lashing out with accusations ("stagnating IT companies"?) is NOT effective.
I don't think any of us consider VoIP as the enemy, just the way it's being marketed and implemented.
I use the phrase "stagnating IT companies" because that really is the case. The computer boom encouraged many people to consider a lucrative career in IT and, like the law profession, the glut has caused quite a few to go belly up. I've seen several CGs close up shop because of the competition and either go to work for another IT company or do something different entirely. So all is not rosey in IT land and telecom is just the ticket many IT companies need to keep afloat.
