VoIP Might Be

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.

FTC, Congress Fight Over Spyware

FTC, Congress Fight Over Spyware 04/29/2004 04:25 PM
As was expecte d, the FTC came out today against anti-spyware bills that have been introduced in Congress leading the bill's supporters to angrily attack the FTC officials: "You like this stuff? You're the only person in this country that wants spyware on their computer." The FTC's argument, of course, is not that they like spyware, but the fear that any definition of spyware is going to include plenty of legitimate programs as well. The problem is that no one has yet come up with a piece of legitimate software that falls under the definition discussed in various pieces of legislation. It always pays to be a bit wary of legislation like this, so I don't fault the FTC, but the reasons presented so far don't make much sense.

Inslee introduced a bill April 29 that would outlaw spyware programs designed to record web browsing habits and collect personal data without notice and consent of the user. (eSchoolNews) "Me hammer. You must be nail. Bang!" The FTC is, quite reasonably, suggesting that we wait to see if self-regulation emerges....
