Autonomously Bypassing VoIP Filters with Asterisk: Let Freedom Ring

Presented at The Last HOPE (2008), July 18, 2008, 5 p.m. (60 minutes)

Foreign governments and ISPs within Panama, Belize, the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, the UAE, China, India, Saudi Arabia, and others have implemented VoIP filters of some type. The effect is obvious - phone calls are effectively blocked. How can Asterisk developers and providers develop mechanisms to help maintain communication through the wake of government supported access control mechanisms?
