One more reason to tell the telephone company to piss off.  And one more 
reason for the big media giants to try even harder to regulate the 
Internet to preserve existing revenue streams.  And then there's the 
NSA: can't imagine they'd be disappointed if people move their 
phonecalls to IP solutions.
