For users of VoIP, expect issues in the future. Basically the telecoms who handle net connections are starting to block various VoIP services, such as Skype, Vonage, etc. More scary shit akin to the tiered internet that some places are wanting. Pisses me off personally, because you pay for a service, and they purposely limiting what that service can do, further down the road after you've started paying them. You pay for being able to access the net with speeds in such and such range, not access the net with certain speeds, unless you're using this or that app, at which we'll drop it even more. The crappy thing is some of these places are making your entire connection goto shit, not just the VoIP connection.
Also, AT&T Customers (which is most people with broadband in the St Louis area), expect for the NSA to know what you're doing. Apparently, they've been diverting traffic to the National Security Agency, letting them know what everyone is doing. Guy getting kiddy porn? He's nabbed. Kid downloading MP3's? They know. Grandma's email of the pictures of her grandkids, they got those too. Bad thing about it (morals and the lack of privacy aside), is that its not quite legal.
