Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:50:06 +0000 http://www.purple.us/blog/?p=287#comment-251 I think this explains better what's going on with the FCC and the so-called black-hole of rules. http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/2676 To wit, phone networks in rural areas are taking advantage of the fact that calls terminating in their areas give them more $ so they're setting up free conference call centers others would call into their networks and also setting up pornographic services. Other networks are replying back by blocking those networks. Balancing the interests of free speech and preventing unscruplous companies from taking advantage is certainly a problem for the FCC. I think this analogous situation explains much better what's going on in the VRS industry where a couple of VRS providers are taking advantage of loopholes to get more money, often through fraudulent means. I think this explains better what’s going on with the FCC and the so-called black-hole of rules.
