>Some data services do not go over the public Internet, and therefore are not “broadband Internet access” services subject to Title II oversight (VoIP from a cable system is an example, as is a dedicated heart monitoring service).
Am I missing something here - VoIP isn't part of broadband? I've a VoIP/SIP provider (Anveo) which I use as a home phone - entirely over broadband.
To what kind of "VoIP not part of broadband" is this referring to?
- wtallis 12y agoThey're saying that only the internet connection portion of "triple play" services will be affected. The cable companies that offer landline telephony over the same coax as the DOCSIS internet service and television are using VoIP behind the scenes but only exposing POTS to the customer, and they're not changing anything about that.
- vertex-four 12y agoHere in the UK, for example, 21CN's changed the network so that all phone calls go over VoIP, but not over the Internet - they go over the same cables, protocols, etc, but it's a private, internal service (imagine your ISP runs a 10.* network internally, and your phone line is connected to that).
