Vonage Blocking Over Reaction?

Aswath Rao comments

Vonage made an informal complaint to FCC and they have not had any follow-up discussion. This is truly amazing for me that the VoIP community is willing to go to bat on such a flimsy ground. Also why did Verizon and SBC declare that they are not blocking, even though Powell went out of his way to clear them? If somebody accuses that a Rao is engaging in nefarious activity, do I have to display my innocence? Whatever may have been the motive of Vonage, this story has put incumbents in a defensive posture.

Guilty as charged Aswath.
