I am baffled why people propose the "simple" solution to just block access to VOIP, streaming video, Web sites, or whatever traffic they think is the problem. If it were that simple, people wouldn't be using Skype in-flight as they do everyday. Blocking specific usage is harder than it seems, especially when those who want to use the bandwidth are smarter than those who are providing it.
