Last week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made an important ruling in favor of competition in broadband services. This change points the country towards greater broadband deployment, investment, and innovation. The Supreme Court's Brand X decision in late June made it clear that cable ...
Broadband Internet service and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) companies must build technology that allows "tapping" for interception by U.S. law enforcement officials to comply with a ruling by the Federal Communications Commission last week that critics complain unnecessarily and unilaterally ...
Is the Federal Communications Commission distorting statistics on broadband subscriber growth in the U.S.? An activist group in New York City thinks so, and has filed a complaint against the FCC, suggesting that the agency is inflating the figures for political purposes. Last week, TeleTruth, an all...
Supporters of e911 think that the work going into the system now will prove to be worthwhile because the new services will be able to take advantage of new multimedia capabilities. In the future, callers may have the ability to send video from emergency scenes -- picture a cameraphone sending pictur...
Watching television over an Internet connection is no longer a futuristic idea for select groups in the area of San Diego, Calif. The testing of a new service called "Broadband TV" demonstrates the power of communications convergence and shows why legacy regulations governing the sector need to be s...
The federal government is moving forward with a proposal to tap -- and track -- in-flight Internet communications, experts tell TechNewsWorld. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, teaming with the Department of Homeland Security, is petitioning the Federal Communications Commission, an independent a...
The Supreme Court's decision on Brand X probably went unnoticed by the majority of broadband consumers, but its effects will not. In a single decision, the high court has helped to put America on the right path towards real broadband reform. It's tough to predict what other innovations the future ho...
Analysts say they expect the Federal Communications Commission will require all VoIP providers doing business in the U.S. to offer basic e911 service to their customers. They also say they expect the FCC to force major telcos to make their e911 infrastructure access networks available to VoIP provid...
Although it may agree with the hands-off approach to Internet services that telecom giant SBC was petitioning for in its request, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rejected the firm's proposal to limit regulation of new Internet services this week, indicating it is too soon to forbear on r...
Continuing its efforts to head off a heavier regulatory hand and increasing litigation, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) player Vonage announced it would offer emergency 911 calling services with its VoIP products and services in some states with help from local phone giant Verizon. The new and o...
Despite recent announcements from major telecom companies such as Verizon and SBC to ensure emergency 911 calling capability on Internet-enabled voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phones, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Kevin Martin indicated this week the regulatory body will deve...
Making telephone calls over the Internet is nothing new. Once the arena for hobbyists and techies, Internet telephony is now a proven technology. Internet phone calls are so reliable and popular that Ma Bell and her competitors use the digital superhighway to carry much of their own hard-wired long ...
With powerful forces pulling for both sides, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to consider this week a matter that brings to a head the debate on how to govern today's converging telecommunications and information services. The high court this week begins hearing arguments in the case -- a dispute betwe...
A lawsuit filed by the Texas attorney general against Vonage -- which claims the company misled VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) customers about 911 emergency service -- brings up one of the problems with emerging telecommunications technology. Customers must register for 911 service as a separat...
It has become as common for many folks as putting on their socks and shoes: Almost instinctively, they put their cell phones into their pockets, and then later in the day hold them close to their ears to talk with friends, family or co-workers. Cell phone users, who number 150 million in the United ...
