This only works if consumers have choice. Many areas in the US have
little choice between carriers for broadband, and those that do, it
won't help if all the carriers are blocking. A friend was recently
telling me about a meeting he had with a large number of clec and ilec
customers, and the main thing they were interested in was detecting sip
and voip traffic including on alternate ports so that they can block or
degrade this traffic on their networks. The theories of open markets
only work when there is sufficient regulation in place to make sure that
there is truly a level playing field in the market place and in places
where there is no up side for the provider, to enforce or entice them to
do the right thing. I am big on free market philosophy, but when there
are people at the top making the decisions that are not good for the end
customer; regulation must come in to protect it.
I'd rather just hide as an SSL stream and let the telcos decide if they're
going to block people's access to their online bank accounts.
Your SSL stream goes where ? you assume you can terminate all the
traffic into SSL tunnels somewhere. While I do use SSL VPN for specific
purposes, this doesn't help the vast majority of the users.
Try to explain to a Vonage subscriber that went to Compusa/Bestbuy for
their 'magic box', that it is not working because the ISP decided the
Internet access they provide, is not "for anything he want to do".
Not to mention, if someone introduce jitter/out-of-sequence on your Bank
Account traffic, won't break it, but we know how 'harmless' this will be
for the RTP traffic :-)..
