from the new-technology-regulation dept.
News As reported by Greplaw, Michael Powell, chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has considered voice over IP regulation, instant messaging regulation and IP non-regulation.

Randolph J. May, a senior fellow of the Progress and Freedom Foundation states in his latest Cnet News.com column that regulation of new voice over Internet Protocol services has reached a fever pitch in Washington, D.C. May states:

'For most regulators, any new communications service presents a tempting regulatory target.'

May continues:

'There is no need to subject VoIP services to the economic regulation applied to traditional telephone services.'
