Internet Telephony Subject to FCC Regs in 2004?

In October I posted Minnesota Cannot Regulate Internet Telephony, and now note the growing interest on the federal level to regulate this technology by the end of 2004. On October 20, 2003 the Federal Communications Commission Technical Advisory Council (TAC) held a meeting on the topic of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The agenda is posted here, and although no spoken participation from the public was permitted, the council accepted written comments. VoIP currently allows users with a PC and Internet access to “call” another PC at no charge, or use a PC to call a phone or vice versa using VoIP gateways. There is growing interest in VoIP on the enterprise level, and the technology has some early law firm adopters.
