A Federal District Judge in Minnesota ruled that VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) provider Vonage is not a telephone company and does not need be regulated like a conventional telephone provider. The decision reverses a ruling by Minnesota’s Public Utilities Commission which criticized Vonage for failing to file a detailed 911 service plan. Should VoIP services be regulated like standard telephone services?
