I'm all for more ways to prevent fraud. When the credit card companies provides me a way to automatedly generate a call to the credit card holder's registered phone number to verify a questionable charge, THAT will be revolutionary. When the credit card companies use embedded security codes that rotate each minute or so, THAT will be revolutionary. I'm excited to see what you have in mind to revolutionize the way VoIP providers work, but I'm skeptical that it really is revolutionary. I love maxmind -- it's not revolutionary, but it is one of the most useful services at a great price I've found.
