Re: No a telco so the FCC says said by uniquecp:
The FCC in all its glorious bureaucracy has already ruled that transmissions over data lines are not telecommunications. Makes it hard to regulate the VOIP industry without changing that.
Unique, you have raised what I think to be a most compelling legal conundrum relative to this issue. I suspect the MN PUC will contend that the line is not the cause of communication but the phone and server connected to it however it would appear that your implication opens the proverbial Pandora's Box for cable IP Providers, the Government as well as Vonage. I suspect if the aforementioned choose to ignore the implications of this case clearly the RBOC's will not! |
