when you have to comply with some insane gov't ruling at penalty of legal (possibly felony type actions) you will also squeal like the virtual pig...
This is internet - if I have 10 Mbit connection and 100msec latency, I can use it for Voice, no way to block me; if it is 19200bits/second and 2 second latency, I can not. That's all. Other methods can provide temporary reliefe only.
true, this was the arguement put forth to the folks at the time, they still insisted on their backwards, telco-minded thinking... Fortunately after a few months they saw the light and removed the requirement. Joe might not be that lucky, or he might be able to show precedent to others about why it's bad to try to block the voip.

Perhaps Joe lives in a similar situation?
