I just don't see it being ready yet for business.

But for calls that don't matter, it might be o.k..
most medium sized businesses have VoIP. T1s can be split up into fractions to carry voice. I forgot the equation off the top of my head so someone correct me if my numbers are wrong.

12 channels in a T1 each channel can carry 4 voice lines. each channel equals roughly 128k or 32k per line. therefor for 12 phone lines and internet you would need 3 channels or 384k leaving you with 9 channels for internet or 1116k. That's what they call a frac T.

Full T1 = 1.5

Anytime you make a cross country call or international call you are in fact using VoIP. The voice is digitized and sent via optics then reesembled onces it goes back to copper.
