There was a big discussions at the Future of IP Heavyreading.com conference in NY this week about this.
It's not as easy for the ISP's to get away with it as you think. Empirix.com were called in to investigate and document the recent Vonage case (lol interestingly enough they have also been hired by an unnamed country to prevent voip as well). The FCC are taking a very dim view of any 'manipulation'.

This is not something that could be easily mandated, and the beauty of this approach is that they're not explicitly doing anything to the 3rd party service applications. They're just identifying and tagging their own services, which is within their rights." _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
