Agreed, but ISDN is a real circuit and IP is a virtual circuit.  Just about 
everything you can think of is moving from real to virtual.  Two-way radio 
networks have moved from real channels to virtual channels (trunking). 
Telco phone numbers haven't reflected real phone lines in several decades. 
It's simply more cost-effective to switch data via trunking than to use 
dedicated lines.

IP will get better because customers will demand it.  Network congestion 
will eventually be gone.  Comcast has upped its throughput at least twice in 
the 7 years I've been using them for internet.  Used to be that a ping from 
SF to bbc.co.uk took about 300ms.  Now it takes about 159ms.  That's almost 
double the speed.

There are several STL units on the market using IP.  There, of course, are 
various streaming codecs designed for broadcast.  They'll both fall flat 
with today's IP because of congestion.  But give it time.
