As with VoIP in general, there are questions about wVoIP Quality of Service (QoS), although examples of successful wVoIP rollouts are growing. wVoIP regulation is currently a heated issue and there continues to be questions regarding wVoIP's immunity from regulations that govern traditional telephone networks as well as wireless VoIP's implementation of 911 services.
