FCC forces rural phone companies to carry VoIP traffic
The Federal Communications Commission has lifted one barrier to wider VoIP use, ruling late last week that rural telephone companies must allow VoIP calls from other carriers to connect to their local lines. Regulators in Nebraska and South Carolina had ruled that VoIP calls could be blocked from connecting to local ILECs (incumbent local exchange carriers), saying that traffic from some VoIP service providers wasn’t considered a “telecommunications service” and could therefore be blocked.
