SIP Over 3G Dominant In 2012?

An interesting tidbit from a report found by Tom Schouteden at the Sipcat VoIP Blog suggests that by 2012, SIP over wifi will be dwarfed by SIP over 3G mobile phone networks. Specifically, they are predicting 250 million users on 3G and only 100 million users on WiFi.

Seems kind of nonsensical today, given that most 3G operators have rules that make the use of SIP impractical or against the usage policy. However, if the operators go away from a circuit-switched model and go purely towards a data-only model, I could see this happening fairly easily. It's be transparent to the end users that way. The fact the communication traverses an IP network or a circuit-switched network is an irrelevant distinction for the vast majority of people.
