      The article seems to focus on ISPs charging more for VoIP traffic.<br>
      This is only a money argument but seems to ignore the fact that my
      call from Montreal, Canada to Palm Springs, California will travel
      through a few networks that have no relationship with me.<br>
      <br>
      It appears that carriers could increase latency on "foreign" VoIP
      traffic which could reduce us to being able to buy good local call
      service but unable to use phones for long distance calls.<br>
      <br>
      Should national and multinational companies be concerned that even
      their ability to use the telephone for internal calls could be
      impacted by this.  It seems clear that the ability to make calls
      to customers and suppliers will become uncertain and potentially
      vary from cases to case.<br>

            </div>
            <div>In general, anything that allows them to charge more,
              limit, or prioritize can affect VoIP. </div>
            <div>There were cases in the past where the carriers would
              do this via Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to block services
              that competed with their own services. So it is not hard
              to envision this happening in the future.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>That said., the vote was not the end of the story.
              There is still a law suit pending on this topic and
              Congress is being forced to review the decision (and
              potentially finally create a proper law). ( <a

              <br>
              Has there been any discussion about the the effect of the
              changes in net<br>
              neutrality to VoIP service quality.<br>
              <br>
              It seems to me that prioritizing streaming traffic from
              certain content<br>
              delivery companies could have an impact on the latency for
              VoIP which<br>
              could disrupt phone service.<br>
              <br>
              I found this article<br>
              <a
                href="https://voipstudio.com/2017-net-neutrality-debate-affect-voip/"
                rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://voipstudio.com/2017-<wbr>net-neutrality-debate-affect-<wbr>voip/</a><br>
              <br>
              It seems to be assuming that VoIP traffic only traverses
              one network and<br>
              that my trunk provider will be able to charge me more and
              guarantee that<br>
              my traffic get priority but I am pretty sure that at least
              some of my<br>
              traffic crosses many networks.<br>
              <br>
              Am I way off track?<br>
