PCWorld.com - Senate Weighs Rules for Internet Phones

It's clear the Senators, other than Sununu of NH, don't know what they're doing. The fact is IP wins and VOIP is just one manifestation of the services made possible via the Internet. IP technology, disruptive as it is for the entrenched circuit-switched providers and the politicians who have joined the gravy train created by the former AT&T monopoly, is the winner. Because it offers so much promise, efforts to impede TCP/IP's adoption for voice and other services and the benefits the public... and eventually the coffers of state and local governments... obtain, should not be abrogated or impeded.
