Lee, 
Governments, like Telcos, block VoIP only insofar as it competes with another service, usually an officially licensed voice telephone service of some sort. No one blocks VoIP just because it is VoIP

They are doing that because it competes with an established voice telephone tariff that requires substantial payments to be made to the government, the telco, etc.
