I've always held that it was Frodo that spoke because:

1) The phrase neatly echo's Frodo's threat to Gollum as they lay in hiding near the Black Gate;

2) The Ring never spoke before;

3) If the Ring could speak, why didn't it shout out to the nearest servant of Sauron? &quot;Hey! Here I am!&quot;?
