But even more to the point, it's worth correcting his opinion that Tuesday's results wouldn't change the net neutrality debate. The guess here is that things will change dramatically, and instead of pushing for some small net neutrality provisions, perhaps we can all -- finally -- move to a more meaningful debate about how to really build new, powerful, neutral, competitive broadband offerings, leaving no option (yes, including government-funded ones) unexplored.

Seems like my "not if but when" prediction is finally coming true.

UPDATE: According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said VoIP is in the cards for 2007. (more after the jump)

Here at the Sylantro Global Summit, however, the once-nascent technology is being served up with a healthy dose of reality, as a dish that still takes time and effort to prepare in order to deliver services that are both reliable and cutting edge at the same time.
