"BOULDER, Colo. -- Leading Voice over IP service provider Vonage Holdings
has complained to the Federal Communications Commission that competitors are
blocking the use of its service, according to FCC chairman Michael Powell
and others close to the company. 

"We're very actively on this case and we are taking it pretty
seriously,"
said Powell, during an interview Monday here at the Silicon Flatirons
conference. In a speech at the conference Sunday, Stanford law professor
Larry Lessing said that Vonage has been telling the FCC that other service
providers are hampering Vonage's VoIP service by "blocking" it
from reaching
certain SIP addresses for end-user devices"

I don't know why vonage isn't installing/using SRV records so they can 
stuff about with ports, rather then having a static port 5060...
