Two States with Totally Different Approaches on The State of VoIP
If I give you two State names, New Jersey and Missouri, Which one would you think is the forward moving state. The following is a portion of a bill passed by one state;
“The growth and enhancement of services using Internet Protocol technology provide consumers more choice in voice, data, and video service than at any other time;
The proliferation of new technologies and applications and the growth in the number of providers developing and offering innovative services using Internet Protocol is due in large part to a light regulatory touch, including freedom from traditional telephone regulation that these new technologies and services and the companies that offer them have enjoyed in New Jersey; and
These economic benefits, including consumer choice, new jobs, and significant capital investment, will be jeopardized and competition minimized by the imposition of traditional State entry and rate regulation on Voice over Internet Protocol service and Internet protocol-enabled service.”
If you can't decide which state issued this, Jeff Pulver of VON fame, has a good explanation about the other bill as this does not need any explanation in my mind!
