European Regulators Agree On 'Light Touch' for VoIP

摘要

The European Regulators Group has adopted a common statement on VoIP service that recommends a European Union-wide "light touch" to regulation. Such an approach, the group of 25 national regulatory authorities said, would facilitate the rollout and widespread use of VoIP in Europe. A flourishing VoIP industry could benefit the European public, the group said. "VoIP services are expected to increase competition as they have several compelling advantages; mainly lower infrastructure deployment costs as well as more efficient network utilization," the statement said.
