Telstra mumbles something about residential VoIP

Telstra to offer VoIP to residences next year (The Age).
Telstra have made an extremely vague media release about offering a residential VoIP product in 2005. The release is full of buzz words but contains no technical details on what format the service will be provided in, or who it will be available to. I suspect it will only be offered to people who already have a significant monthly spend with Telstra, such as people with Foxtel cable or a product bundle which includes BigPond ADSL.
If you are reading this because you are interested in using VoIP at home you don’t have to wait around for Telstra to get their act together. There are plenty of small VoIP providers around who will be happy to have your business. Some Melbourne based examples are ATP and Freshtel.
