While I agree entirely, it has nothing to do with VoIP so has no place
here. There are newsgroups specifically for this kind of debate.

But the way things are going you'll soon need your ID card number to log
on to the www which of course will only contain government approved
information, and I'm only half joking.

As in China. Next will come controls over use of the WWW, they will
justify it as a measure to catch paedophiles, and combat terrorism,
stage two will be that ISP's will have to keep extensive records of
all internet activity, in ever greater detail, and for ever longer periods.
All P2P activity will be monitored, it's seen as a means of
illegally distributing copyright material, then VPN will come under
scrutiny, as will encryption. If you encrypt, then by definition
you are trying to hide something.
It's very relevant to broadband and VoIP groups.

Pity that the OP probably won't read this thread. I would like to tell him
that, as a NO2ID supporter, I am really annnoyed as his spam because I think
it will only turn people off.
