Commission Rules in Favor of Innovation
JAMESBURG, N.J., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The FCC today ruled in favor
of choice, competition and innovation by preempting state regulation
of Voice-over-IP phone services provided by companies like VoicePulse.
Remaining consistent with the FCC's deregulatory policies, the order
lifts the burden of complying with 50 different regulatory bodies
which could have stifled the emerging technology.
"We're pleased that the FCC recognizes the potential of VoIP and
welcome their continued support in bringing services like VoicePulse
to the consumer," said Ravi Sakaria, VoicePulse's President & CEO.
"The ruling is an important first step towards defining a new
framework to support and encourage the growth of the industry while
benefiting and protecting the consumer."
VoicePulse allows consumers to use their existing cable or DSL
Internet connection for phone service. The service includes
traditional features such as Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forward and
Voicemail as well as a host of advanced features such as Distinctive
Ring, Call Filters, Telemarketer Block and Anonymous Call Block.
Consumers need only a high-speed Internet connection and an ordinary
touch-tone telephone to use the service. VoicePulse uses
Voice-over-IP technology to deliver broadband phone service.
VoicePulse's services include:
* Unlimited local, regional and US long distance calling for $24.99
per month
* Unlimited local, regional and 200 US long distance minutes for
$14.99 per month
