VoIP carriers may or may not be using resources provided by the voice carriers. It all depends on the endpoint. If you are making a VoIP call to another person using IP, it is quite possible that you never touch the public phone infrastructure. On the flipside, if you call a standard 10-digit public phone number, then you most likely are going to hit the phone infrastructure, at least for the last mile.
Data lines and Voice lines were once one in the same. The major players are starting to build up data lines that are independant of their voice infrastructure. Sprint, for instance, has a major fiber backbone that is purely IP based. MCI/UUNet has similar plans to build this sort of IP dichotomy.
The point is the big players are not going to be gone. They may be forced to change, but they are NOT going to fade away...
I agree that a lot of people aren't in the know of iTunes. Not everyone who drinks a Pepsi product owns a computer and wants to go through the hassle of getting an account for one song.
On a slightly related topic to your post: I have to wonder what else you find when you dumpsterdive in the office???
I agree with you, but I do have a question then: How do you define reasonable effort?
Is a Spam-filter that is 2 years old a reasonable effort? What about a new one that only searches keywords, but not phrases?
This poses an interesting dilema then: Is it better to release information on a discovered vulnerability if you know about it, or should you not release it and hope you can patch it before anyone else discovers it?

One that makes over $320 Million profit?

And with out public market capitalization, you will most likely remain small...
Really? What about Blockbuster and other rental places when the movie is distributed to your local retail store? Don't you think that THEY lose out?
How many times have you personally ordered the SAME pay per view movie more than once? Unless you're lying, the answer is none.
This is probably true. I order the pay per view once. Then, if I enjoyed the movie, I will go out and buy it when it is AVAILABLE .
No. It was a double take for me, I thought it was a joke!
I suppose that's better than if your C-levels wanted to search on MONSTER.com, eh?

Even still, with the MASSIVE 130 bhp motor, that manages to only create 96.98 KILOwatts of power... I think you've got a long way to go!
