[asterisk-users] SIP v IAX2

[maka]

Dean,

I am going ways offtopic on this one, but I must say that although I
am not from the US, I am finding the repetitive bad communications and
VoIP legislation being voted in the US disturbing. Having in mind the
CALEA Act (as an outrageous example of such bad legislation yet not
directly related to the link you posted), how indeed could "Consumers
Put End to VOIP Port Blocking" with the COPE Act
(http://www.commoncause.org/atf/cf/%7BFB3C17E2-CDD1-4DF6-92BE-BD4429893665%7D/HR5252_COPE.PDF)
pending final approval by the US authorities? I am not willing to
start a discussion on net neutrallity here on this list (anyways not
in this topic), just putting my two cents in.

Cheers
