Back at Keys

BAK, I find some interesting developments on the VoIP and security fronts. One, the ILECs don't like way Vonage et al are using telephone numbers. The other, a large enough number of system administrators failed to patch their Microsoft SQL Server installations, and so created a fertile ground for worms.

I wonder how the VoIP-only services dealt with the resulting traffic loads. I noticed a serious quality degradation in traffic nominally originating on the POTS network in the long-distance calls I received on Sunday.
