scalability can be obtained by "pushing the intelligence to the edges
of the network"

I don't see how this is relevant.  Is anyone trying to meter the number
of calls each SIP phone can make?

Well, sure, that's how my phone works.  But the billing is handled at my
VoIP vendor's server not "to the edges of the network".
