In the long run, I think you are right. Computers are programmable and everybody will twist and turn theirs to do all sorts of (dirty) tricks, such as running TCP over DNS. :-) If carriers were forced to prioritize VOIP packets, people would start to masquerade their FTP downloads as VOIP packets. If VOIP or streamed video is treated like any other data, and this works very well and all users are happy, carriers will start to introduce random delays until some customers start paying extra for priority service. I think there will be a great market for random delay gateways. They can do this, and so they will do this. We need to get over it, or hack around it. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
