     After years creeping into backbone and corporate networks, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has burst on the scene as a true “disruptive technology,” capable of delivering mass market communications over the nation’s existing infrastructure at lower cost and with greatly expanded capabilities relative to traditional circuit-switched services. The core objective of this workshop is to identify fundamental technological and economic properties of this technology and draw out their implications for business strategy and technology policy. Steering clear of the knotty issues raised by VoIP for legacy state and federal regulatory and for Internet tax policy, the workshop will focus on the obstacles and opportunities posed by this disruptive technology for incumbents and startups, for business and residential users, and for service providers and equipment vendors.
