Schenectady, NY | Rural markets in danger?
In particular, Nuvio is concerned that rural ILECs will use discriminatory practices to artificially keep VoIP competition from reaching rural customers.
Most rural markets have no broadband where is the danger here? |

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | Yeah, but it's a developing worry.
Out here in California, the CPUC had to order Volcano (Ca.) Telephone to stop blocking calls to an ISP that was competing with Volcano Telco's affiliated Volcano Internet.
Volcano was just "dumping" the calls--in the words of one of the network engineers, they just "fell on the floor uncompleted" after the switch was programmed to block.
Stuff like this will happen over time.
