ACA reviews regulation of VoIP services

The Australian Communications Authority (ACA) is reviewing
telecommunications regulations to cover fast-emerging voice
over internet protocol (VoIP) services.

Releasing a discussion paper this week, the ACA said it aimed to identify any regulatory challenges resulting from the increased availability of VoIP services and recommend to the government how those challenges might be met.

The ACA has called for industry and public comment on the issues raised in the discussion paper, Regulatory Issues Associated with Provision of Voice Services Using Internet Protocol in Australia .

There is no doubt that VoIP services will have consumer benefits and will increase competition.

Submissions on the ACA discussion paper should be sent by year's end.
