This, of course, is very interesting as Skype and other like it could totally commoditize  address-book services and call control.  Honestly, its not that much of a loss to manufacturers and its a gigantic gain for not only customers, but also the whole industry.  While...Polycom might sell less CMA or Tandberg less VCS, in the long run they will both sell more endpoints as getting a endpoint hooked up and dialing someone will help considerably with wider spread adoption.   Something the industry should have pushed 6-7 years ago.
