Of course, nirvana is still a dream, and the land of IP is still a work in progress. A number of direct IP and SIP peering initiatives point the way to a world where legacy TDM network infrastructures are a thing of the past, and where conversions from TDM to IP and back again are the thing of nursery rhymes.
