If someone want to be insane -  allow him to do it; what's the problem? Is
this question coming from Panamian government? -:)

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.

Perhaps 'I am failing to see it' but, what can be gained by blocking
VoIP
traffic other than freeing bandwidth and CPU churnings?

reference panamanian gov'ts choice to protect legacy/incumbant carrier
business by blocking voip. no one said it was 'smart' just that it was
what the gov't wanted. Perhaps Joe lives in a similar situation?
