I also expect combination devices that integrate VoIP, switch, firewall/router/NAT & DHCP server and other capabilities to become more popular and widespread. Given the relative lack of IPv6 news in 2004, I'm wondering if that topic won't remain similarly quiet in 2005, though I'm personally hoping for some action on that front myself. I also expect wireless networking technologies to continue to become more widely used, faster, cheaper and (hopefully) more secure.
