Take a look at this story. Is it technically feasible for ISPs to enforce this? Do you agree with the reasons for this action that were given by Mr. Balashnikov? Do you think it is right to effectively protect incumbents ("licensed international carriers")?

The Internet is an open service and it should stay so. I think the people there should complain about their ISP because they should receive an open service for all application including VoIP.

There are ways to violate these ISP restrictions using non-QoS internet protocols but, the quality will be less.

FYI the leading ISP/International long distance providers in Israel have annual revenues of $50M. That's no mom and pop operation, not even in the USA. "
