Oleg, first thanks for your answer.

There is still a little difference here, I believe, with cellular companies.
Cellular companies get their profits mostly I believe with telephony
(the internet service in cellular is quite new). So Skype (or other
voip applications) on a cellular device using internet is a real
threat on their profits. Not all ISPs, on the other hand, deal with
telephony, and most of their profits are from internet services, I
believe.

If this is true, than around the globe, it seems that blocking VOIP
traffic with DPI is more important to cellular companies supplying
internet service than to ISPs.

Or am I wrong?
