Isn't the Goal?...

Isn't the goal of the VoIP not to supplant wireless, but to complement it?

Supposedly what companies are working towards is a phone that, when you're out and about, uses the usual cellular networks; but when you're at home, will 'roam' onto your local network and use your broadband connection to make ultra-cheap VoIP calls. A sort of 'fixed mobile' hybrid. Advantage: still mobile, but calls at home are incredibly cheap

At least, that's where I keep hearing we're going. 😕
