I don't think the conflict is as strong as it once was. Mobile carriers have already begun to 'pivot' to be data providers instead of phone providers with data on the side. I think they'll find a way to get their margins either way and data, including voip calling, might end up being cheaper for them in the long run anyway. I guess that's contingent on if they can innovate fast enough to keep their networks from being crushed.
