Dean,
I am going ways offtopic on this one, but I must say that although I
am not from the US, I am finding the repetitive bad communications and
VoIP legislation being voted in the US disturbing. Having in mind the
CALEA Act (as an outrageous example of such bad legislation yet not
directly related to the link you posted), how indeed could "Consumers
Put End to VOIP Port Blocking" with the COPE Act
(http://www.commoncause.org/atf/cf/%7BFB3C17E2-CDD1-4DF6-92BE-BD4429893665%7D/HR5252_COPE.PDF)
pending final approval by the US authorities? I am not willing to
start a discussion on net neutrallity here on this list (anyways not
in this topic), just putting my two cents in.
Cheers

VOIP is NOT telephone so the FCC don't have anything to say about VOIP.
Well not right now.
But in CAN there are cable co. that block the SIP ports and there is an up
charge for them to unblock SIP.
Ask Vonage......

But how do you deal with the cable co blocking the ports you need for SIP?

Well Skype was one of the reasons I started my Asterisk based business.
I first came across a VoIP demo about 12 years ago in a teleco carrier in
Altanta GA.
At that time the technology was very primitive (most people still had dial
up lines). Anyway, to cut a long story short it wasn't until I many years
later that I tried Skype, then I knew the technology had finally "arrived"
and was good enough for business communications. Here in Canada, long
distance is realitvely inexpensive so "cheap" calls are not very important
Most of my clients are sold on the feature set in Asterisk and the
ability to have extensions in multiple sites/offices without any line
costs.

That will be Skype then ;-)
