It seems that there is no guarantee that VoIP is Internet either, just as IETF
protocols can be used to great effect outside of the public Internet too.
Cheers, Rod.

Your paradox seems artificial. "IP Telephony" is both
internet and telephony,
but Voice over IP makes no claims (except in sloppy reporting) to be
telephony. Unless, that is, you consider commerical 2-way
radios, CB radios,
intercoms and tin-cans-and-string to also be telephony by
virtue of involving
transport of voice.
