A recent petition by BellSouth Corp. to the FCC 'might cause
serious problems' for VoIP service providers, says Jeff Pulver,
president and CEO of Pulver.com.
The petition could limit "the ability of unaffiliated ISPs and VoIP
application service providers [without their own underlying telecom
transmission facilities] to continue to be viable providers of VoIP
services," he continues.
The petition, which Pulver calls "this season's sleeper issue"
asks for changes to two areas of FCC rules: the so-called
Computer Inquiry Rules and features of the common-carriage
requirements for broadband networks. BellSouth is asking for
'forbearance' on both rules.
