WHY: In recent months, VoIP has become the most talked-about
facet of the telecommunications, Internet and technology
industries; from 200,000 U.S. consumer users today, the
number of VoIP consumers has been projected to grow
seven-fold between now and 2007.
This effort is particularly timely because the Federal
Communications Commission and several states are actively
considering a number of VoIP related policy issues that
could prevent Americans from enjoying the full promise and
potential of VoIP. However, with the right policy balance,
Americans can enjoy lower prices, innovative new services,
and advanced communication features. The Coaliton is
committed to seeking a policy environment that allows
VoIP to succeed.
