Skype hauled into court after refusing to hand call records to cops

The question here I think hearkens back towards net neutrality, and how we want our Internet ran. more or less like it is now... (e.g. As a Title II Utility [Telecoms]), or the way most ISP would have it as the next gen level of tiered DTH services?

I'm all for net neutrality Title II Tax, and all... And if VoIP then gets treated like any other "Traditional" Servive... So be it...

BTW: I don't know how it is in Blighty... Here in Germany... What used to be a Combo of ISDN + DSL... Has now been fully replaced by VoIP and the same DSL / Cable I'm not even sure IF you can even still get an Analog Line in anymore. So if my Provider Deutsche Telekom only give me the option of VoIP, am I not just as safe, as if i were on Skype?

No?! Why?
