VoIP Technology Will Challenge Traditional Assumptions and Traditional Regulatory Models
• “VoIP” is more than “Voice”– The Voice/ Data dichotomy is eroding rapidly – VoIP is not simple voice, but rather a converged multimedia
application that supports voice, data and video
• Innovation and investment by fixed and wireless operators in IP networks will have an economic impact
• IP communications have the potential to disrupt the status quo in service provider environment, elevating applications
• Revolutionary opportunity for consumers; evolutionary for businesses
• VoIP development and regulation should follow a cellular model rather than a traditional fixed voice model – services will improve over time, not overnight, to meet customer demand

Voice Becomes Another Data Application On an IP Network IP/Internet Applications
Internet Protocol (IP) separates applications from the network:
– Voice is not longer restricted to telephone networks
– Voice becomes another IP data application

Definitions
• Internet Telephony: “In the beginning, Internet telephony simply meant the technology and techniques to let you make voice phone calls –local, long distance, and international – over the Internet using your PC…the definition of Internet telephony is broadening day by day to include all forms of media (voice, video, image), and all forms of messaging and all variations of speed from real-time to time-delayed.”
• IP Telephony: (As defined by Microsoft) “IP Telephony is an emerging set of technologies that enables voice, data, and video collaboration over existing IP-based LANs, WANs and the Internet. Specifically, IP Telephony uses open IETF and ITU standards to move multimedia traffic over any network that uses IP (the Internet Protocol).”
• Voice over IP (VoIP): “The technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using the Internet Protocol. Such data network may be the Internet or a corporate Intranet, or managed networks typically used by long and local service traditional providers and ISPs that use VoIP.”

VoIP:
An information service that delivers voice communications and enables voice convergence with
other data applications and devices.
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS:• Presence (Instant Messenger, Follow me)• One Number / “Follow Me” Services• IP Call Centers• Universal Messaging• Virtual Meetings / Collaboration (like
NetMeeting)• Real time language translation• IP Centrex• Multi-Point Videoconferencing• Desktop Multimedia• Push to Talk Cellular• Voice Chat

VoIP’s Challenges: Operational, Standards, Policy/Regulatory
23Copyright 2004 AT&T
Who Should Set Policy for Global IP Networks and VoIP?
• FCC?• FTC?•Congress?•State Legislatures?
• ITU? • WTO?• WIPO?• IETF?• ETSI?
•National Parliaments?
•APEC?•National
Parliaments?
•National Parliaments/ Governments/
Courts?•European Union?

International VoIP Policy Activity
• More Recent Proceedings Considering VoIP / VoB Regulatory Framework– US, UK, EC, Canada, Germany
• Anticipated Proceedings: – Hong Kong, India, Australia,
Singapore, Sweden• Issues Arising in Proceedings and
Discussions with Policy Makers– Different issues emphasized outside
US– US focusing on “regulatory
framework” primarily as it impacts legacy inter-carrier compensation and USO considerations
– Outside US, focus on “regulatory framework” in light of specific rights and obligations that impact customer demand, economic development, and public safety (e.g numbering resources, entry barriers, law enforcement assistance)
• Multilateral Interests : ITU and OECD
• ITU Survey on Implementation of IP Telephony in Developing Countries: Countries vary in their treatment re regulation:
– Include VoIP/all forms in regulatory system
– Prohibit implementation -Not planning to regulate
– Some have not yet addresses these issues
– 35 respondents to ITU survey: Only Spain, Sudan, Singapore, Lituania, Denmark said : should not be regulated.

VoIP’s General Challenges: Much Work to do to Compete with PSTN and Develop
Right Regulatory Environment
OPERATIONAL• Physical and logical interconnection• Infrastructure availability• Infrastructure affordability• Quality of service• Security• Billing• Customer care• Fulfillment and device support• Coexistence with legacy equipment
and networks increasing architectural complexity
POLICY• Regulatory classification• Licensing restrictions• Number Resource Allocation• Interconnection Charges• Law Enforcement Assistance• Access to Emergency Services• Emergency Service• QoS/Power Supply• Tariff/Price Controls• Universal Service
27Copyright 2004 AT&T
What WITSA Might Do to Ensure VoIP’s Success
• Backgrounder Paper helps to frame VoIP’s story• Education and Briefings essential for policy makers across range
of governmental agencies, NOT just regulatory agencies• Be aware that legislation is underway in many countries and
may limit who and how VoIP can be provided; work with others to influence legislation.
• Sometimes telecom legislation included VoIP; be aware that incumbents often seek to prevent anyone else from providing VoIP
• Business Associations and allies, such as ISP Associations, others could join together to “tell VoIP’s story”, of economic investment, productivity, new consumer services, etc.
• A “picture” is worth a thousand words approach: work with equipment providers, or VoIP Services providers to show the technology and tell the policy story at the same time
