Didn't the recent FCC decision on FWD leave VOIP untouched as long as it stays on data network and doesn't cross to the PTSN. I think it also left individually owned VoIP gateways in a grey area. Or have I not been paying close enough attention to the communications landscape? I see the biggest problem with pushing it into a wireless agenda being the Quality of Service problems that arise... I think it would be nice to see the rise of a VoIP cooperative... Using asterisks it doesn't seem like this would be too much of a challenge to implement for interested parties. It would require the development of a 'Yellow Pages' like service across domains that could be used for configuring Asterisk servers over the internet. Then there is always developing an SIP proxying system to get around firewalls. FWD seems to have solved this problem, but is pretty tight lipped about how it was done. I've been thinking about various tunneling solutions and proxying solutions that might solve the problem, but haven't had time to implement or test them. I'm still in the process of putting together a VoIP gateway using asterisks at my office for call forwarding so I can receive my phone calls in the park (really hate working in office over the summer).
