Costa Rica May Criminalize VoIP

chia_monkey writes "Here's an interesting little tidbit about the 'free' Internet. Seems Costa Rica may make it a crime to make Internet-based phone calls. It would be a shame if this sets a precedent of setting legistlation that would seriously stunt the growth of these emerging technologies that should be making communication cheaper and easier, not harder and illegal."

    "The internet" is sort of a vague term.

    There is huge overcapacity in some places (the USA, transatlantic, etc.) and undercapacity in others.
