Simon;
Voice over IP is paradoxically both internet and telephony at the same
time. This article presents the paradox, and associated arguments.
There is no paradox. The internet carries information.
You should, at least, distinguish VoIP as a telephone network
and the Internet telephony.
In Japan, TAs to connect the Internet and POTS telephone devices
are rapidly replacing the telephone network including VoIP ones.
a. VoIP is telephony and should be regulated.
b. VoIP is internet and should not be regulated.
Why, do you think, the Internet without voice should not be regulated?
It is.
Paradoxical reguration on voice in US is a US local issue.
