1000 users, 15 hours, isn't all that much when you think about it - At some point in the near future, an split such as this is almost assured ofhaving FCC attention due to the consequential consumer & business impact.

If I understand the way existing VoIP service work, this depeering situation means that VoIP customers, trying to call from one network to another, will not be able to connect because the VoIP provider does not relay voice packets. So the VoIP provider will see that both the calling and called party are on the net, however the flow of voice packets will fail. Has anyone asked Vonage and others what they think of this? It is almost certain to be affecting some of their customers. --Michael Dillon
