Vint Cerf Slams Net Phone Regulation
Vint Cerf appears in the news yet again. This time, as reported in an article on C|Net News, Vint told an Internet governance roundtable in Sydney that in his personal opinion, it was easy to answer the question of how to regulate VoIP -- legislators must not make the mistake of subjecting VoIP offerings to the same rules as telephony services, or else it may stifle innovation. Vint is quoted as saying, "My concern here is the fact that VoIP looks like, and sounds like telephony. This is horribly misleading. To leap to that conclusion is extremely dangerous. VoIP is really just another application on the Internet. Nothing special about it."
