Re: hack the planet!
China tomorrow will launch their own DNS system, with three temporary top level domains, (.CN, .Com and .Net) that will be available only via Chinese networks. Chinese users will be routed directly through the Chinese domestic analysis server, bypassing ICANN entirely. An excellent idea. The Chinese government realizes that unrestricted access to the internet by its citizens is harmful to its citizens. 
On the other hand, I wonder if adding those entries to my firewall rules and hosts file will serve any purpose.

I'm not sure that it will make a huge difference to VOIP. China is probably going to mirror standard DNS data for the most part and then start deleting or reassigning DNS assignments they don't like. Right now (or at least yesterday), China was blocking IP addresses of sites they don't like.
What is going to get wierd will be if China decides to start reselling domain names, e.g. cnn becoming China NEtwork NEws, etc.
As to VOIP more specifically, I think that will continue to remain a cat and mouse game. Don't, however, underestimate the resourcefulness of the Chineese people. I'm in Hong Kong at the moment and was at a computer centre earlier in the week. Technology was being openly sold designed at tunnelling under the Great Firewall in use in the mainland. (Hong Kong's internet is wide open). Most of the stuff they were selling (I only glanced casually) appeared to have been made in the mainland, (e.g. tunnelling routers, etc.).

They do this because the major ISP's have spam blocks on the whole China IP range. So they want to create there own DNS trying to make a statement to DE-centralize the whole process and make a statement doing so. |

We just beat them...so they're just trying to unmonopoly the current DNS system. |
