The FCC has not set a Quality of Service Standard on VOIP. If the FCC did set a standard and forced the VOIP companies to pay the Bells, Time Warners and Comcasts of the world to interconnect and prioritize VOIP packets, pricing of VOIP companies will go right to the same level as TDM, which, by the way, has FCC QoS standards. Why should the Bells and the Cable companies who have spent real dollars to build extensive networks let someone else use their lines to make money on a product they can do themselves? The only way that will work is if the government took over all communication companies and forced open standards (ain't gonna happen). I say enjoy the cheap VOIP products while you have them, they are soon to go by the way of the pet rock and leg warmers. |
