[VOIPSEC] An issue of trust?

[Smith, Donald]

Most ISPs will provide anything your willing to pay for.
Nearly every ISPs offers performance and uptime SLA's some offer DDOS
SLA's.
Some offer various Managed Security products (firewalls, IDS, VPN ...)
with SLAs.

Most enterprise customers want an unfiltered, CHEAP "IP" pipe. 
Since that is what most customers want that is the most common 
product sold but certainly not the only product sold.

Most large ISPs have won at least one government contract and had to
meet fairly stringent security requirements.

I agree unless your willing to pay them to do it an ISPs shouldn't be
expected to provide you "secured" communications.

Security through obscurity WORKS against some worms and other tools:)
