I'm trying to be optimistic. The way these companies are moving, they are more concerned about delivering media content then they are voice. Verizon and Comcast are trying to purchase assets from Twenty-First Century Fox inc. Follow the link below, there is a blurb about it there. I believe they see the future as media companies. I don't think they care much about VoIP. I think the biggest losers are NetFlix, HULU, YouTube, Google, and companies of the like. These companies also have the capital to ride the "fast lanes." I honestly have no idea what's going to happen. I do know there are people that are allot smarter than me that will figure out a work around to whatever the ISP's intend to do. I'm also sure when they figure it out, it will spread like wild fire.
