UK: VoIP Regulation Hit by Three-Month Delay

David Meyer writes on ZDNet UK:

The publication of Ofcom's proposed regulation for the burgeoning internet telephony industry has been delayed by at least three months.

The communications regulator was expected to have made a statement regarding voice over IP (VoIP) regulation in August, after a consultation into the issue closed in May. Three months later, no news of the proposed regulation has emerged, although insiders have indicated that some form of statement will be made by the end of November.

The regulation could affect the ability to port phone numbers across from the old telephone network, as well as issues surrounding network quality and the availability of emergency services access.
