Firm's new connection charge for calls made over the Internet is being
watched, Powell says.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - SBC Communications Inc.'s new connection charge
for calls made over the Internet is being watched, Federal
Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell said Friday.
Powell said SBC's "TIPToP" plan shouldn't be used to force higher
connection charges on voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) services or
to discriminate against SBC competitors.
"Should we conclude that this tariff is being used to justify the
imposition of traditional tariffed access charges on VoIP providers or
to discriminate against SBC's competitors, the commission will take
appropriate action ... ," Powell said in a statement.
