FCC Investigates VoIP Regulation
posted by scubacuda on Sunday November 30, @12:24AM
from the when-is-a-phone-call-not-a-phone-call? dept.
News Washington Post: The FCC's lax policy on Internet regulation could soon change. Federal and state governments could lose billions of dollars in revenue from regulatory fees if calls moved onto the Internet are no longer subject to the charges. And if the FCC chooses not to regulate Internet calls, it could raise questions about the future of the Universal Service Fund, a $6 billion federal program funded by telephone fees that subsidizes phone service in rural areas and Internet service for schools.
