Telephony over IP vs. Voice over IP

Before reading this article, I had never run into the term "telephony over IP", and I worked with digital telephony well before it. Unless there is an authoritative term for ToIP, I recommend doing away with it and staying with VoIP, which is the term in all standards with which I am familiar. Howard C.
