I wonder if this is a sign that YC is admitting too many startups and that the company-advisor ratio has fallen out of whack. This space is extremely crowded, and a lot of companies are already doing it very well (and cheaper).

It's not their fault that TechCrunch wrote an article begging people to make these comparisons. It's perfectly fine to launch a Grasshopper competitor; it's just a dumb idea to pitch it as "Google Voice for Companies", as if companies didn't have this stuff long before Google had Voice.
