Did I find one that got by Dom? LOL! :woo-hoo:
As unlikely as it seems, I didin’t see this mentioned in here.
Could this have important sideways relevancy to the Wire Act?
STATE CANNOT REGULATE INTERNET CALLS:
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A Minnesota agency may not regulate calls through cyberspace as it does calls through traditional phone lines, a federal appeals court ruled.
The Dec. 22 order by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis upholds a lower-court ruling and is a win for fledgling companies like Vonage Holdings Corp. of Edison, N.J., which provides Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP.
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission had argued that VoIP companies were providing phone-like service and therefore should be regulated as phone companies are. But those businesses said they provide an information service rather than a telecommunications service.
The Federal Communications Commission last month issued its own rules, saying that Internet phone services should not be governed by the same state regulations as traditional telephone companies.
Super find, Integrity!
Very, very interesting!
That’s promising. :clapper:
