Purpose Statement

Welcome to our website on internet telephony, also known as voice over IP (VoIP). Our site sets out to provide information on this rapidly emerging technology including a background of the technology itself, the current legal issues and policy considerations it faces, and the future implications of the expansion of VoIP both in the United States and internationally.
