FCC Rules On Pulver Free World Dialup

Posted by timothy on Saturday February 14, 2004 @04:07AM from the no-brainers-are-easy-for-the-fcc dept.

An anonymous reader writes " Light Reading is reporting that the verdict is in on Pulver's FWD. 'The first big decision was a victory for VoIP proponents. The commission ruled that Pulver.com's Free World Dialup VOIP service is an information service, not a telecommunications service. The decision was based largely on the analysis that it doesn't fit the 1996 Telecom Act's definition of a telecommunications service.' To me this was a no-brainer on the part of the FCC. Let's see if they get the rest right too."

I am not sure how pointing out previous Slashdot articles about Pulver's Free World Dialup (FWD) - is off topic.

Or pointing out an Interesting People message about the FCC ruling that "pure" VoIP like FWD is not a phone service is off-topic or overrated.
