Latest FCC announcement: FCC Plans a Case-by-Case Approach Check out washingtonpost.com It looks to me like this might be bad news for IDTC and Qwest (specifically mentioned in the article), but good news for DGIV. That is because companies doing calls within the US may get charged a nickel per call at each end. That hurts national calls, but a nickel is nothing for an overseas call. So it seems that companies working the international market will benefit two ways: from lower fees, and from those coming over from the national companies. Unless there are fees charged by the overseas carriers through the FCC. Anyone know? Excerpts: "Federal telephone regulators said yesterday that they plan, on a case-by-case basis, to force companies offering long-distance service on the Internet to pay fees to local phone companies whose wires carry the beginning and end of the calls. Such fees could force discount phone services using the Internet to as much as double the rates they charge consumers." "Typically, long-distance carriers pay local phone companies fees of 5 cents per minute to begin and end phone calls on local telephone networks" "Such companies include IDT Corp., Qwest Communications Inc. and even AT&T Corp., which next week plans to offer an Internet phone service on a trial basis in selected cities" "The FCC likely will get its first complaint soon. Officials at BellSouth Corp., a large local telephone company, said it will immediately begin charging access fees to companies that use its network and advertise Internet phone service"
