Conference Call Details
Agenda
Skype is the first major communication application that like the Internet has no geographic boundaries, while connecting to the PSTN. Regulation world wide is still associated with country specific rules. What are the lessons that Skype can teach us all about the way to navigate government rules? Are issues like net neutrality national or international issues? What makes a good regulatory framework?

Be aware that in some countries (UK) it's illegal to offer access to a GSM gateway to customer unless you are a carrier

Michael Graves said:
the trouble is that cell carriers often don't support local 211, 311, 511 services for local/state governments
Sergio Meinardi said:

William Volk said:
Isn't there a geo-location DB for WiFi router MAC addresses?
James Body said:
yes - 911 in N America
Tom Orr said:
Isn't the overarching problem that we (telcos in particular) haven't separated the service from the transport (utility) network.
Phil Wolff said:
911
James Body said:
So - does that mean that if you only support outbound calling (not inbound calling) - then you do not have to provide emergency calling
James Body said:
FCC definition says <br/>""An interconnected Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service is a service<br/>that: (1) enables real-time, two-way voice communications; (2) requires a<br/>broadband connection from the user's location; (3) requires Internet<br/>protocol-compatible customer premises equipment (CPE); and (4) permits users<br/>generally to receive calls that originate on the public switched telephone<br/>network and to terminate calls to the public switched telephone network."
Article just posted (by me) on this subject. http://glimfeather.com/borderless
James Body said:
Why did they decide to refuse to support emergency calling? Is this decision solely based on technical crirea - or is there something more to this?
James Body said:
I would like to discuss the issue of support for Emergency Calling - http://www.computeractive.co.uk/computeractive/news/2226793/skype-refuses-comply-ofcom-999

Don't you think it's a bit unfair to conflate the TOM Skype story with the story of encryption and "back doors"?
Good morning...
