There was a big discussions at the Future of IP Heavyreading.com
conference in NY this week about this.

It's not as easy for the ISP's to get away with it as you think.

Empirix.com were called in to investigate and document the recent Vonage
case (lol interestingly enough they have also been hired by an unnamed
country to prevent voip as well).

The FCC are taking a very dim view of any 'manipulation'.



Cheers,
Dean

How ISPs May Quietly Kill VoIP

eye-opening look at the anticompetitive behavior of some ISPs who are
showing up late to the VoIP game. This is not something that could be
easily mandated, and the beauty of this approach is that they're not
explicitly doing anything to the 3rd party service applications. They're
just identifying and tagging their own services, which is within their
rights."
