Game theory 2

A Platinum Circle value reader writes in to question the ultimate goal of the MCI Neighborhood Broadband Calling trial. He and a group of like-minded people did some primary research in the availability site, and came up with the list below. His question: isn't this quite extensive for a "trial"? My question, from a Eurocentric point of view is: if the European incumbents view IP as the new stick to beat each other with, might the RBOCs also come to view hosted voice as a low cost way to revisit their abandoned European expansion strategies? Any views, on either issue, would be welcomed. Here's the painstakingly assembled list:
