I work in the industry if you need any info / pointers.

BT are on the way to moving everybody from the TDM platform to IP. It makes it far easier to manage, everything can be put through one set of switches as opposed to two completely different incompatible switches, and segregated on packet level.

The tech VoIP companies use is SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), and is markedly different to pushing voice as IP on the back-end, which is what happens now.
