SIP won't displace all legacy PSTN any time soon. So it's a failure by 
your definition. And by your definition IPv6 was a failure before it was 
even born because the internet became popular -- something I'll add that 
nobody knew for certain when it was being designed. There's a lot of 
sour grapes about stuff that happened 30 years ago.
