We're not here, I was working for C&W up until about a month ago and
a large number of their customers were buying.

Agreed on the timescales, there are probably around 10 major
companies that I know of that have adopted it. Until the Qos issues
are sorted it is not worth looking at, although it is worth buying IP
enabled PBXs... and IP VPN (that's if you can find a telco with any
capacity left, this has been the Telco equivalent to the homebase x10
kits :-)
