Lots of things…
Battery life Poor UX
“Which browser tab is ringing” RF coverage/interference Microphones/earpieces/headsets Security Etc.

There are trade-offs…

Call quality: elephant in the room
US – voice in focus Rural call completion Verizon/VoiceLink
UK – regulatory change New consumer
broadband metrics More than “speed”
EU – major debate “Assured services”

Not all broadband is created equal…Example: Two different ADSL providers in the same location, same “speed”
Great for voice Poor for voice

Does over-provisioning work?
Can we run a “converged” voice and data network?
How to capacity plan the system? How to measure and manage voice quality?

Other “gotchas”
Assumed substitutability of IP transport Edge/core, first/last 100 kbps, different media (they are not the same!)
Capacity planning “Residual packet service time” problem is repeated service killer
QoS Either uneconomic or ineffective; poor signalling/media interaction
Call admission control Unified Comms is brittle and prone to failure due to lack of CAC
Measurement & management “Jitter”, “bandwidth use” are not direct QoE proxies

The biggie: SLA composability
All the individual SLAs were met along the chain…
…but the voice service doesn’t work!
What’s wrong?
We don’t live in TDM land any more!

Other horrors (or opportunities…)
Ever more NAT/FW/middlebox latency & variability issues NFV/SDN may make things worse…
Internet fragmentation – islands of (non)connectivity IPv6 scaling issues on public Internet + rising routing overheads?
Audio + video processing value chain Noise cancellation + suppression interactions Multi-bearer comms; media processing in the cloud
Ecosystem shift - “climate change” - IT-isation Middle players (i.e. innovative telco suppliers) will get bought out Instability of supplier relationships
