Paul Kapustka reports on the lastest chapter in the port blocking saga

Advanced IP Pipeline: Clearwire May Block VoIP Competitors

"At least one customer of Vonage Holdings Inc.'s VoIP service has reported an incident of having the service blocked by Clearwire, according to Brooke Shulz, vice president for corporate communications at Vonage. According to Shulz, when the customer asked why the service didn't work, a Clearwire representative told the customer that they couldn't use Vonage over Clearwire."

This may quickly turn into a debate of "terms of service" vs. "Net freedoms" and the way some service providers deal with what they consider to be "the free riders." Then again, this could also be another case of somebody trying to use the famed "chewbacca defense."
