China blocks VOIP calls for two years?!

China has moved to protect its fixed telephone line business by banning free Internet telephone services for at least two years [...] The move would likely be major setback to Skype, which was reportedly in talks last year with Chinese telecom operators to launch its computer-to-telephone service, SkypeOut.
Well, it does make sense? Do you think that VoIP is a disruptive influence on the telcom industry, or an important part of our telephonic future?
Damn, now I have to pay to call a friend.
Maybe everyone should start using Gizmo project, I dont like skype its too expensive. Gizmo is cheaper at 0.01 for US calls.
