Minnesota Told Again Not To Tax VoIP







Minnesota Told Again Not To Tax VoIP

Minnesota Told Again Not To Tax VoIP 12/29/2004 03:03 AM

How many times does the Minnesota PUC need to be told that they cannot tax VoIP providers? Over a year ago, they were told to leave VoIP providers alone, and last month the FCC set rules saying the same thing. Of course, that wasn't going to stop Minnesota from trying. They appealed the case, suggesting that somehow the FCC ruling contradicted the earlier court ruling. However, the Appeals Court found the same thing that's pretty obvious to just about anyone: the rulings say basically the same thing -- which means Minnesota cannot tax VoIP. Will they actually understand this time? Update: Apparently, the California PUC has decided that they're still going to fight this, and have filed an appeal to the FCC ruling themselves.

Pure VoIP Won't Be Regulated, Phone-Like
VoIP Might Be
02/12/2004 02:16 PM
As expected, the FCC ruled on the Pulver VoIP petition today, and gave something of a split decision. They claim that "pure" VoIP systems shouldn't be regulated, since they're just like email or any other internet application. However, they're reserving judgment on VoIP systems that more resemble regular phone service, such as Vonage that touch on the PSTN. This seems like something of a cop out, and may be difficult to sustain over time. Most of the "pure" VoIP systems are offering (or planning to offer) gateways that let them connect to the telephone system. Where do they fall along the regulatory spectrum? This would take away the incentive of VoIP providers to connect to regular phone service, creating two different levels of phone service, rather than connecting the two and leading to a more orderly migration. Of course, it still remains to be seen what sorts of regulations they will include for PSTN-connected VoIP. Chances are, they're talking about adding in 911 service and phone-tapping abilities.
