Lots of news and noise were created this week around the introduction of a bill designed to keep VoIP free of over regulation. Wired has a very good recap as does IT Vibe.

I'm particularly interested in seeing how the federal wiretapping provisions come out. On one hand the fed's position understandable and justified. On the other hand, what's so special about voice? Yes, the bad guys may use voip to avoid wiretaps (and huge long distances charges!), but if the bad guys know that the packet-tapping skills of the feds are up to speed, why wouldn't they use an IM service, or another voice or text enabled P2P service? The answer is that they would. In fact, they probably already are.
IP makes monitoring communications extremely difficult. I'm curious to find out if there is anything they can do about it, and if so, what that might be.
