I do not think that it will matter much. Congress is going into recess and they have not said a word about it. By the time he gets his appeal in, the deadline will have passed. The item to note is that cell phone companies had to pay billions for license to operate and build their networks. The voip industry has not. We compete against ilec, clec, wireless and are not obligated to contribute to funds or invest into any infrastructure. Our sole advantage is that we are cheaper since we do not have to pay into these funds. I guess we can at least invest into insuring our customers can get basic emergency services. If we do not show any responsibility in this matter, we will be considered a parasite on the network and allowed to die. There are many political lobbies talking to congress that represent the about industries. We must be careful since we could not win a battle with these people.
