Unfortunately I believe there is a lot of truth to it. The speed in
which 911 legislation took effect is no coincidence and you don't see
the big telcos complaining about it. He's right about the price issue
too. Do you see how much big providers charge for VoIP service?
MARK.

Specifically, his assertion that ISP's would sniff traffic and block, say,
the SIP port. You could play wack-a-mole with port numbers, no?
Also a community based, Freenet style of encryption implementation for
"free" VoIP traffic would address this issue.
I raise this to the list because I'm sure there's a grain of truth in what
he's saying. ILEC's would be crazy to not consider this kind of lock in,
since it's pretty obvious that packet voice networks are going to supplant
circuit networks completely in, say, 20 years. Maybe sooner.
