I've spent the last few days determining what BTL is doing and I've posted my complete findings on this thread:

http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic12433.html

Essentially BTL is intercepting Vonage call setup messages and impersonating Vonage as they try to complete a connection to your VoIP adapter/software. BTL adds a fast busy message to the "handshake" and this prevents the calls from being connected.

Apparently BTL has the "right" to do whatever they want, at least that is what everyone seems to think. As visitors/residents/citizens, we should really be concerned with this type of communications "hijacking".

How long will it be before BTL does similar things to instant messages, emails and even basic web surfing? What happens when even more sinister technology is installed that monitors phone calls for voice signatures (on PSTN or VoIP calls)? What they are doing RIGHT NOW is considered hacking in the US and EU.

What is the line? When will they cross it?

It is important we establish clear privacy boundaries at they pertain to telecommincations.

Please make an effort to come to the PUC meeting in the city. This may not directly impact you today, but the negative momentum is plenty cause for concern.

What about voip on sattelite?

&nbsp &nbspHi all,
have any of you used a service like Skype on a sattelite service like Starband? I'm sure it can be done, but I'd like to hear more about it from somebody who's used it.

Search the boards, we have been talking about it for weeks. Yes it works and works well, but sat systems are expensive up front and they are legal now in Belize, but have heard that BTL wants a crackdown on sat systems as well.

When we used Net2phone it was but on Sat with Skype to a landline in the US there is almost no noticeable delay.

We only Skype to Skype one person and no delay at all, crystal clear. The only time we get delay is Skype to cell in the US.
