VoIP in SBS' Future?
Nice article over at CNET on Sprint's big VoIP plans for small business. The i4 does sound like a great feature and to me businesses that are using services such as Vonage may jump ship to the Sprint i4 if they don't continue to bolster their product line.
Interesting how at the end of the article Ben mentions the Cisco/Microsoft SBS team is focused on more than just data but also voice as well. Could the partnership between Cisco and Microsoft signal something to come in the future to connect a simple Cisco appliance for VoIP to SBS 2003 and have integrated phone with your server, CRM, and ERP package all on the SBS box? Man that would be saweeet.
Well one can dream can't he??
Personally as a solution provider I already get calls asking if I do VoIP because I'm the see all do all tech contact for a business. Adding VoIP would be nice to add to the bag of tricks and I've already looked into several packages that can be added directly to SBS.

It would be sweet, in the mean time do you know of any resources for installing a cisco voip solution on a SBS network?
Don't know of any Cisco VoIP specialists at the moment. We're using Asterisk Open Source very effectively and have settled on that as our main platform for the time being.
