| VoIP and regu;lar phone - similar??
Most telephone communications over any distance (or so I was taught in school) is now digitized, much like the internet signals most of us are playing with now.
So in one sense, if you regulate one, then the other should be?
However, phones even in the bad old days of corded and later cordless phones have been more mobile than the VoIP at the equivalent stage. And consider the other pros and cons that have beat into the dirt.
I do not have an opinion for either side, except that if someone wishes to have VoIP and avoid the taxes and "fees", they should be required to sign a waiver that they are responsible for any and all emergencies and possible lawsuits etc that arise from the lack of 911 and other 'normal' phone services. If they can prove 'normal' phone service present and working, that is another story, but some people are dropping that.
If VoIP ever goes mobile like wireless (cell) phones, then that is a different story.
