Maybe I should say IP Telephony, not VoIP. How many uncompressed, toll-quality calls can you push out simultaneously over a T1??? Have you done the math? 24? Maybe 23 on a good day. Sure, if you use compression you can squeeze in quite a bit more, but you can't deny that IPT is bandwidth-hungry, with streaming MOH, voicemail audio streams, the calls themselves. Believe me, VoIP is absolutely a bandwidth-hungry app. No one who understands the technology would deny that.
