"VoIP is really just another application on the Internet.
Nothing special about it."
--Vint Cerf

| Welcome to my Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) outlet. In some respects a December 2003 FCC VoIP Forum may well have been a watershed event in focusing attention on VoIP at the state, federal, and indeed international level, thus that is the starting point for this effort. |

"Currently Skype is not subject to telecommunications regulation,
therefore we do not have any legal obligation to provide any means for
interception. This is software that's not any different from e-mail or
chat"--Niklas
Zennstrom, CEO, Skype, Stockholm, Sweden And that about sums up the lack of clarity surrounding the growing phenomenon of communicating via data packets over non-traditional conduits, in particular the global Internet. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a major December 1, 2003 Forum reviewing the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) sector. The Forum was Chaired by FCC Commissioner Michael Powell. FCC Commissioner's Kathleen Abernathy, Michael Copps, Kevin Martin, and Jonathan Adelstein also presided over the Forum. Industry leaders such as Jeff Pulver (Pulver.com), Tom Evslin (ITXC), Charles Giancarlo (Cisco Systems), Jeffrey Citron (Vonage), James Crowe (Level 3), Kevin Werbach (Supernova Group), John Billock (Time Warner Cable), John Hodulik (UBS), testified, as did public sector representatives, Carl Wood (California PUC), Charles Davidson (Florida PSC), and Michael Gallagher (U.S. Department of Commerce). Dr. Gregg Vanderheiden (Univ. of Wisconsin), represented a portion of the academic community. My quick take of the event in respect to VoIP is the cart truly has gotten before the horse, meaning the technology and service is outpacing traditional telephone companies as well as U.S. state-federal and international regulators, grappling with issues such as universal service, taxation, e-911, and law enforcement. Looking at the recent flurry of announcements from AT&T, Time-Warner Cable, Qwest, Cox, MCI, and others it is apparent that cart is indeed in acceleration mode. TMCNet.com has produced a synopsis of the December 1, 2003 Forum (complete with links to prepared remarks).
