Exactly correct. The number one priority, which trumps all others, is making the abuse stop. Yes, there are many other things that can and should be done, but that's the first one.
Stopping the abuse is fine, but cutting service to the point that a family using VOIP only for their phone service can't call 911 and several children burn to death could bring all sorts of undesirable regulation let alone the bad press and legal expenses.
As far as the Ducth situation with one of the largest providers (KPN) goes this is solved by using a seperate VLAN for VOIP traffic. Only the data VLAN is being "blocked" or actually policy routed towards a walled garden in which users are able to clean themselves up. -- Nils Kolstein SSCPlus
