Editor's Comment: I hope everyone had a productive year in 2006.  Here I have seen much change in VoIP technology over the last 12 months.  Asterisk has come of age and is knocking on the door for mass adoption.  VoIP bloggers have really become the go to source for "up to the second" news and commentary.  Old Ma Bell is starting to come to the conclusion that she is better than her pieces.  Net Neutrality has had one of its first major battles and has won a sort of temporary victory with the aid of capitalism.  Tom Keating has keep to his word about championing the common consumer via his insightful piece on Vonage's Crack Customer Service. 

VoIP security risks are now being realized and people "are' taking notice.  As the old adage goes, "with great power come great responsibility."  In all I see great strides in people taking a more open source-open input when creating all these new VoIP based apps.  Lately I have been using Skype's video conferencing capabilities on my new laptop, I am still amazed that this app is free and works right out the box.  2007 we should see more improvement and more brilliant ideas come to bear for us to beta test and break
