[Note: This comment comes from reader Steve Schear. A clear case of the 'industry experts' missing the boat. Steve cited the number of users who at anytime are online. The number of Skype subscribers is in the millions. In fact, its already over the 17.5 million that the Yankee Group forecasts for 2008. DLH]

 While industry experts estimate the current residential VOIP market
has less than 1 million subscribers, they expect sharp growth starting
in 2005 as large cable companies such as Comcast Corp. roll out their
VOIP services. Communications consulting firm Yankee Group forecasts
VOIP services will win 17.5 million residential users by 2008.

Funny, the number of VoIP connected Skype users is over 800,000 regularly...
