Re: they will fold The practical problem of actually reaching these providers may preclude serious regulation--if the regulation is too heavy or too taxing, they'll just move offshore.
Any offshore VoIP provider can connect users in Pulver fashion almost without effort, and connections to the PSTN can be bought. While PSTN connection may be a bottleneck or choke point that regulators may try to control, it won't be easy.
Realistically, state regulators and taxing authorities looking at VoIP are about like the Chinese thought police looking at the Internet. They may say and think that they can control it, but they are fooling only themselves.
