A steady stream of customer-win announcements continues to flow from VOIP vendors selling to Asian carriers, but the standouts of last week's VOIP news were developments taking place in Europe. In one story, England has decided to give IP calls their own optional area code. And in another, the European Commission wrestled with the same issues of regulation as the FCC. We also have for you this week two VOIP-related disaster recovery stories: one from 1992's Hurricane Andrew, the other from 9/11. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123328-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. News: Europe Tees Up VOIP Governments worldwide are eagerly seeking ways to fit the fledgling technology into existing regulatory frameworks. The European Commission, for one, is taking a soft approach on usage rules, proposing mostly voluntary guidelines. Find out what the EC is planning here. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123331-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. News: U.K. Agency Assigns Special VOIP Area Code The Office of Communications, Britain's telecom regulator, is setting aside an area code specifically for VOIP calls. Get the details on how and why here. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123334-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. Analysis: Florida Town Rises from Hurricane Wreckage with VOIP Triple-Play A metro fiber-optic link encircles Homestead, Fla., supplying voice, video and data at 100M-bit Ethernet speeds directly to homes and businesses. Find out why Homestead is one to watch when it comes to VOIP. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123337-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Analysis: The VOIP Story of 9/11, Updated There are dozens of university case studies of IP telephony, but this one is twice as timely: It's the back-to-school VOIP story that happened on, and because of, Sept. 11. Learn how a VOIP pilot program turned into a back-up plan during the emergency. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123340-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6. Opinion: VOIP Taps: Dumb Idea Peter Coffee writes that the FCC's proposition to extend the reach of CALEA wiretap requirements into the new territory of voice over IP entails unreasonable costs for unimpressive benefits. Read why here. http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123343-1 ========================================================= Tech Jobs http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123346-1 ========================================================= Ziff Davis Channel Zone http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123349-1 ========================================================= DevSource http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123352-1 ========================================================= eNewsletter Information ========================================================= You are subscribed to this newsletter with the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE, click here: http://www.eweek.com/unsubscribe_newsletter/0,4223,,00.asp?n=89&type=u&[EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your HTML/text preferences, change your e-mail address or subscribe to other eNewsletters from Ziff Davis Media, click here: http://eletters.eweek.com/zd1/cts?d=79-1086-22-43-4482-123355-1 Questions about your newsletter subscriptions?
