[VOIPSEC] Confirmed cases of SPIT

[Dan_York at mitel.com]

Simon,

Yes, that "how" is indeed the big question. I think most of us are here on
this list because we want to collectively figure that out.  I don't think
anyone is suggesting that we keep the wall of the PSTN... It is more of a
point that as we tear down that wall, we have to do so with our eyes wide
open... and we have to figure out the answer to  that "how" question along
the way.....

Dan has it is right, But the BIG question still remains, how do we migrate
ourselves from our walled in, self imposed VoIP islands and open our
networks up to concepts like ENUM and DNS SRV and unleach the HUGE
potential that is VoIP? Or are we just content to close our eyes and limit
ourselves to the "SAFETY of the PSTN"?

Simon

BTW:  Wasn't the initial aim of VoIP to replace the PSTN?
