Yes, it is certainly an option to take into account. If the (artificial) latency isn't the culprit, and if the AUP allows the user to use VoIP (SIP) over the network. A (former) telco would be tempted to declare this illegal whereas a newcomer would not because its an interesting option for the customer. 3G and 4G should lead to the dead of older, slower standards like GSM and GPRS, _including_ different kind of usage.
