Re: hack the planet!
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.).

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