Which discusses the Vonage case, which was settled, and says "A larger ongoing question is simply how VOIP will be viewed by the FCC, a political organization where a majority of three votes is enough to enact telecom policy into law, pending a review by U.S. District Court. The Telecommunications Act of 1934 plus the Telecommunications Act of 1996 serve as the FCC's "constitution," the framework of legislation the agency has to interpret and refine. If it goes too far, however, the FCC's work can become subject to judicial review and overturned." In other words, what the FCC has jurisdiction over is governed by federal law. It can change, of course. But right now, FCC isn't regulating VoIP. And by the way, a settled lawsuit means nothing in terms of setting legal precedent. Don't ask me - ask a judge or attorney, they'll tell you the same thing. -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Victorville, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
