VoIP is a Threat to Wireless Security?

This article on silicon.com begins with an attention-grabbing title, but as you read down you find it's not that bad — or at least it's not wireless specific. VoIP is not a wireless security threat because of any idiosyncratic interaction with wireless technology, but rather because VoIP requires additional ports be opened on a company's firewall, which, of course, makes it just as much a threat to traditional non-wireless services.
So why the alarmist headline conflating wireless and VoIP? It's two, two, two buzzwords in one!
