Actually

But, first they will have to realize that this is terrorist or criminal data out of the exabyte of data flowing through the Internet.

They wiretap people all of the time without getting any evidence of wrong doing from the wiretap. Hence the millions of wiretaps a year without getting millions of arrests. This is called "fishing".

It is a lot harder to "fish" for someone that is using a propietary VoIP system on the Internet. There is to much data to store, not to mention process on the Internet.

What they want is a centralized point that they can access the voice information. The problem is the way the Internet is designed anyone can create their own VoIP system totally side-stepping the central point.

Thus the point of regulating VoIP is mute.
