Exactly correct.  The number one priority, which trumps all others,
is making the abuse stop.  Yes, there are many other things that
can
and should be done, but that's the first one.

Stopping the abuse is fine, but cutting service to the point that a
family
using VOIP only for their phone service can't call 911 and several
children
burn to death could bring all sorts of undesirable regulation let
alone the
bad press and legal expenses.

As far as the Ducth situation with one of the largest providers (KPN) goes this is solved by using a seperate VLAN for 
VOIP traffic. Only the data VLAN is being "blocked" or actually policy routed towards a walled garden in which users 
are able to clean themselves up.
