Niklas at CEPT Conference in Barcelona
I already got the impression at the last IETF in Minneapolis that anybody dealing with telephony some time gots infected by bellheadism. But I was really surpised to see Niklas show up at the last CEPT conference in Barcelona (the CEPT is THE bellhead club). The presentation he gave to the regulators as a keynote speaker is quite interesting and available here.
In the presentation is a very interesting graph about the exponential growth of Skype and the summary given to the regulators was:
• Voice is becoming a software application
• No benefits of regulating VoIP
• Regulators role is to ensure that VoIP can
– easily interconnect with PSTN
– Access to numbers and allow virtual numbers and nomadic use
– Stop network operators to abuse their situation by blocking, not unbundling or rebalancing prices
