A defining week for VOIP







A defining week for VOIP

A defining week for VOIP 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

Two significant events this week will mark a turning point for voice over IP. 

On Wednesday, AT&T CEO Dave Dorman will give a major speech in Washington to the New America Foundation.  Marking the 20th anniversary of Ma Bell's divestiture, Dorman is expected to outline a strategy that makes VOIP a central focus for the company. 

The next day, the FCC will take up its long-awaited Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on VOIP, as well as Jeff Pulver's petition to declare his Free World Dialup service unregulated.  The NPRM is just the formal beginning of the proceeding -- it will ask questions and make proposals, but not adopt any binding rules.  That will come later, almost certainly after Michael Powell leaves the Commission.  Nonetheless, the NPRM will set the agenda for the regulatory fight to come.

Defining Trade Secrets, Not Defining

Defining Trade Secrets, Not Defining
Journalists
03/24/2005 02:23 PM
In the Apple vs rumor sites case, the press has built it up as a question of whether or not bloggers deserve the same protections as journalists (which many have extended to mean "are bloggers journalists?" -- which is a silly question, when you think about it). However, in the decision concerning subpoenas, the judge clear ly avoided the issue for a good reason. It really had little to do with the case at hand. Instead, the question is what's the definition of a trade secret? The judge made it clear that if this was a trade secret violation, then any journalist would be just as guilty -- since this isn't so much about "whistle-blowing" as it is about revealing product data before it was to officially be released. Of course, that complicates matters. What if the process of whistle blowing also involves revealing trade secrets? In most cases, it does. It seems like, for now, the test being used is whether or not it's a public safety or health issue, in which case it becomes protected whistle-blowing. If it's just product data, then it might not be protected.

Defining Deviancy Down


Defining Deviancy Down 06/16/2004 04:50 PM
Defini ng Deviancy Down In 1993, one of our greatest statesmen, Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D- N.Y.) published one of the most important pieces of social theory entitled "Defini ng Deviancy Down." Moynihan started from Emile Durkheim's proposition that there is a limit to the amount of deviant behavior any community can "afford to recognize" (called the "Durkheim Constant"). As the amount of deviancy increases, the community has to adjust its standards so that conduct once thought deviant is no longer deemed so. Consequently, if we are not vigilant about enforcing them, our standards would be constantly devolving in order to normalize rampant deviancy. Shortly after Moynihan's article, Charles Krauthammer offered his now-famous response to Moynihan's article in which he argued that the corollary is that society can also "define deviancy up."

Moynihan's theory has been applied to
movies, courage, dress codes, sex ual indiscretions, corporate behavior, and possibly even to webpages. One might feel compelled to ask, "Do standards even mean anything?" Today, the debate still rages about where we ought to be defeatist about the devolution of standards, or whether we can righ t the boat by establishing base principles and fight to raise standards up.

Bonus goofy news item of the week: Paris Hilton’s Blackberry was hacked.

Quoth the source for this bombshell:

“It’s one thing to have people looking at your sex tapes, but having people reading your personal e-mails is a real invasion of privacy.”

Clearly, different people have different definitions for invasion of privacy.

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.
