There is a distinct definition drawn by the FCC between "basic" and "enhanced" services (see page 9 of the decision) with basic services able to be regulated (ie ISPs) while enhanced services (VoIP, P2P, et al.) are to remain unregulated in the interest of further developing the internet. This really doesn't change anything regarding the cable co's fight to remain closed networks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8250283 Thu, 16 Oct 2003 21:49:26 EDT Re: While this might be good news for Vonage..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8249524 SuperJudge :

If the judge is correct in the unregulation of the Internet.
*sighs* I have foresight into an American attempt at regulating the internet soon. America thinks it's the police officer and owner of the rest of the world, why not the internet too. :[

There is a distinct different between the infrastructure (eg cable and telco LINES) and the content (eg VoIP and email).

If the judge is correct in the unregulation of the Internet, then how can open access be demanded on cable lines? How can we regulate cable so that they don't screw the customer?

Both good and bad in this ruling.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8248161 Thu, 16 Oct 2003 17:54:12 EDT
