"We want to see VoIP developed in an unregulated way": Verizon
In a story in today's issue of the New York Post, VON alumnis, David Young, Director of Technology Policy for Verizon, is quoted saying: "We want to see VoIP developed in an unregulated way. We're living with a regulatory environment for a world that no longer exists. Rules that were put in place for Ma Bell in the 1930s certainly don't apply now."
I agree.
Taken on the surface, a week before the December 1st FCC VoIP Hearings, these are words which hopefully will be heard loudly on the 8th floor at the FCC.
And I hope that these statements from Verizon are a setup for deregulation of the Communications Industry.
