I would have thought as the director of a telecoms company which deals with mainly business clients you'd be in a far better position to answer this question!

The product has been there for the last decade, but it seems has become a sexy phrase in the last year or two. Yes its a fantastic solution for residential telecoms, and it certainly has its place with large corporates with plenty of bandwidth, but is it a solution for SME's & smaller corporates ?

Maybe even mobile phones will use it in the future, so international phone calls will be affordable :). VoIP is definitely the future for telephony.

But I've had a look at Wengo http://www.wengo.com/ which is not only open source but looks very promising, describing itself as the "first universal software of its kind: multimedia, multi-platform and multi-protocol." Unfortunately I haven't yet persuaded friends already on Skype to give it a go, though the call I made to a landline was crystal clear. Anyone tried it?
