The fella's at MIT spent an awful lot of time and money demonstrating
that the tin foil hat did nothing to protect one from mind
rays/microwaves/government propaganda/whatever.
Particularly useless was the "Fez" type which when exposed to 1.2GHz of
RF actualy had a concentrating effect much like the pringles "cantenna".

Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Is ISP Blocking VoIP
Or is it?
Assuming that the ITSP is SIP based why not move the port
from 5060 to
something else?
Granted they might be looking at trhe flavour of the packets
but perhaps
they are not.
Of one has to supply the customer with an ATA why not make it
an IAX one?
Again....
These schemes might be effective, temporarily, but playing cat and mouse
with ports and the ISPs' attempts to dick with traffic is not a
practical business model.
Honestly, this behavior on the part of the ISP's doesn't surprise me in
the least. Conside those cases where the ISP is also selling dialtone.
VOIP traffic crossing their network, and NOT belonging to them, is
competition. Given that the major communications companies have a
history of aggressively protecting their revenues, and given that the
current regulatory climate has been bought and paid for by those
companies, it doesn't surprise me at all.

This is but an early skirmish in the war for the Internet, folks.
Video-on-demand may well be the next round. That "holy grail" of the
media giants is just around the corner, and don't think for a minute
that your cable company/ISP will stand idly by and watch you order your
movies from "moviesnow.blockbuster.com" if they can get away with
dicking with the feed and offering you "a more reliable" alternative.
