The FCC is due this coming Tuesday (March 22, 2005) to make a decision on Level 3's petition asking forbearance from interstate access charge rules on payments for calls terminated over the PSTN.
We've been hearing that the FCC might jump the gun and rule sooner on this issue. The body's decision could have a significant effect on the cost of VoIP services.
Because of the interest in this issue, we have created a buzz page at this location:
