Well, I was more thinking, would a Rural ILEC pay the large capital expense to forklift to another on-premise solution when that solution stands a good chance of getting EOL'd in the next few years too? That's got to be on their minds, whether *any* of the legacy switch platforms / vendors even 1) care about voice or 2) will support it indefinitely.
I suspect the economics of the industry are against this business model (proprietary, on-premise switch, large capex) continuing. But I want to know what everyone thinks. This turned into a great convo!
