Major Victory for VoIP: FCC Ruling Considers VoIP an Interstate Service (link will expire--the Wall Street Journal Online is free to the public this week)
This concerns Vonage's problem with local governments dunning it for providing phone service which they consider comparable to the traditional telcos.
At its monthly meeting, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to approve a request by Vonage Holdings Inc., a start-up company offering Internet phone plans to consumers, declaring it an interstate service, people familiar with the matter said. That would free Vonage, which has about 300,000 Internet phone lines in use, from numerous state telephone regulations, including certification to offer service, service-quality and reporting requirements, and contributing to state phone-subsidy programs.
Om lavishes praise on FCC Chairman Michael Powell, who just so happens will remain chairman despite rumors that he would be stepping down.
