Wiretap the Internet? Not So Fast, Say Some (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1124269510528)
The National Law Journal

The federal courts may soon face the first round in a battle over the Justice Department's demand that federal wiretapping requirements be extended to Internet services. The Center for Democracy & Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and others are weighing whether to challenge an FCC requirement that VoIP services accommodate the taps in their designs and applications. Critics say the FCC decision is based on a flawed interpretation of a 1994 law.

That means that services such as Skype, Vonage and others have no technology in place to allow your calls on those services to be wiretapped. Safe communication with no possibility of government snoops being able to listen in on your every word.

And you can use voip in exactly the same way you do your local connection. Let's say you install Voip and disconnect your regular telephone service. You call up your fried acroxx town and tell him that you have a new phone number and it is xxx-xxxx so he dials the VOIP number just like he would any other number.

He never knows that it is a voip munber. The telephone solicitors can't get the number either. Google searches don't reveal your voip number either.

And you get all the bells and whistles the telephone company always charges big bucks for free. All the regular telephones and accessories work with voip the same way they did with the old services.

Sans government snoops.
