Hi Ron There was an article back in July looking at what might happen
How does the 2017 Net Neutrality Debate Affect VoIP? ( https://voipstudio.com/2017-net-neutrality-debate-affect-voip/ ) In general, anything that allows them to charge more, limit, or prioritize can affect VoIP. There were cases in the past where the carriers would do this via Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to block services that competed with their own services. So it is not hard to envision this happening in the future. That said., the vote was not the end of the story. There is still a law suit pending on this topic and Congress is being forced to review the decision (and potentially finally create a proper law). ( http://uproxx.com/news/senate-democrats-cc-net-neutrality-fight/ ) So it is worth it to contact your Senator and let them know what you think they are supposed to be doing in your name.
