Universal Competition: The Best Way To Ensure
Universal Service
EDITORIAL By Kevin Mayer
The FCC has an unenviable task: ensuring universal access
while promoting the deregulation of Telecommunications. At
first glance, these appear to be incompatible goals.
Universal access practically demands artificial incentives.
Without them, how could we be sure anyone would invest in
relatively unprofitable ventures, such as providing phone
or Internet access to rural areas? Yet, in the long term,
imposing regulations could prove self-defeating.

IDT Responds To FCC Regulation Plan With Free Phone Calls
Responding to the FCC's planned proposal to regulate
Internet telephony, IDT Corp. has announced that it will
offer free PC-to-phone calls: These are to enable
Americans to lobby their congressmen to ensure low-cost
phone calls over the Internet. By going to
net2phone.com users can call their Representative or
Senator, or the FCC directly, and plead a case for low-cost
phone calls, ensuring affordable communication to everyone
in the U.S. "We are calling for a citizens' uprising
against regulation," said IDT's CEO, Howard Jonas.

TCG CERFnet Expands Turnkey VPN Services
TCG CERFnet recently announced its expanded Enterprise
Quality-Virtual Private Network (EQ-VPN) program. With
this expansion, says the company, TCG CERFnet has
addressed all of the issues that previously kept
conservative network managers from reaping the savings and
productivity benefits of a VPN. EQ-VPN services are fully
managed, turnkey solutions that provide complete
flexibility in the delivery of secure communications --
dedicated and remote -- over any IP network, including
LANs, wide-area ATM, and frame relay networks, intranets,
and extranets.

an entire E1 trunk's worth - in a single PCI slot. The
TAP-804E is designed specifically for European
installations of advanced CTI applications, such as Voice
over IP. Its counterpart for American installations, the
TAP-804, supports 24 channels of G.723.1 voice
compression, consistent with T1 interfaces common in the
U.S.
