VoIP with an English light touch

by on September 8, 2004

The U.S. isn’t the only country struggling with decisions on how (or whether?) to regulate VOiP. Internet Daily reports today that OfCom, Britain’s telecom regulator, opened an inquiry on the subject Monday. It’s “initial views” are that the service needs a light touch. It argued against requiring standard service features, saying consumers should be able to make informed decisions for themselves about what they want. Perhaps surprisingly, it even argued against mandated “999” service (that’s British for “911”). Seems like good news from old Europe.
