The proposed rules should be enacted. VoIP isn't special or sacred--there's no reason Internet-based phone calls should be treated any differently from conventional telco calls.

Wiretaps have proved effective in preventing and prosecuting offenders. As more consumers begin using VoIP, so will the criminals. Law enforcement should have the same access to new technology as it does to the old.
