       Actually it's not. In fact IP telephony and/or VOIP have 
opened up markets for those who provide the service. They have 
the resources to create and maintain a network that is stable. 
They also make it easier to connect to the traditional telephony 
network. Most people will pay $100 per year or less to have that 
work done for them. Most people won't want to go through the 
hassle of building their own network using software that doesn't 
support a universal protocol.
