Nice anti-American rant.  We're not a socialist country (well, not 
completely yet anyway).  Those who prefer socialism over self 
responsibility have other options on where to live.

Carrying any services for a non-payer is not a moral imperative. 
Companies exist to make money, not to provide services to people who 
can't pay.  The ILEC/CLEC has special privileges and thus has special 
responsibilities, but a VoIP carrier doesn't get any of those special 
privileges and is not bound by the special responsibilities.

It would be nice to avoid political ranting on an international list.
