No, Randall, that isn't a possibility.

Let's remember that the phone companies and cable control the last mile. So phone company would charge enough per voip packe to equate their current voice revenues. The cable companies might also charge enough per packet to make it compeititive with their own voice service. The only other possibility would be for other ISP's to offer broadband wireless service such as Wimax. The problem here is that these are controlled by the phone or cable companies.
