I agree with whomever said it earlier -- remember that the
global Internet is nothing more than a bunch of interconnected
private networks.

Yep.. And when you are dying of a heart attack in your house, and every 
second counts, how are you going to feel when the 911 operator says.. 
"P...e.a...s...c....a...y......s....a..d..a?" Or better yet, when you get 
a fast-busy because your Cable Modem is down?

VoIP is great. VoPI (Voice over Public Internet) is great when it works, 
but I wouldn't bet my life or my business on it.
