It's not that easy. If you want to have open SIP URIs (just like email 
is open for everybody) you will receive SPIT calls. E.g. the SPEER group 
tries to define rules for VoIP peering which allows authentication to 
enable open SIP URIs. (I won't open acces to my SIP URI if I can not 
verify the senders URI).
