Specifically, his assertion that ISP's would sniff traffic and block, say,
the SIP port. You could play wack-a-mole with port numbers, no? 

Also a community based, Freenet style of encryption implementation for
"free" VoIP traffic would address this issue. 

I raise this to the list because I'm sure there's a grain of truth in what
he's saying. ILEC's would be crazy to not consider this kind of lock in,
since it's pretty obvious that packet voice networks are going to supplant
circuit networks completely in, say, 20 years. Maybe sooner.
