Interesting. No ability to opt-out, and no signup option. So will
they use the customer's billing address, attempt to determine
location based on IP address or some other voodoo? It'll be
interesting to see if they manage to handle vonage boxes that are
connected over VPN tunnels that terminate far from where the IP
addresses "appear" to be. Also, Vonage promotes the "take your phone
service with you" idea, so there's a real opportunity for problems.
This should be interesting to watch.
