[Michigantelephone.mi.org] Michigan Telephone, VoIP and Broadband blog: Still, watching VoIP devices get smaller and smaller is a bit fascinating, kind of like watching limbo dancers (boy, am I dating myself with that reference), only instead of "how low can you go", it's "how small can you make it." At some point it gets harder and harder to believe that the next entrant will be able to better the last one. But then, I would have never believed anyone could put a complete 56K modem on a card that slides into a laptop computer, so I guess I shouldn't be too amazed if in a few months or years someone manages to come out with an ATA that's even smaller than this one.
[Techdirt.com] Techdirt: Introducing Backdoors To VoIP Networks Makes Them More ...: The ruling that VoIP providers must make their networks wiretap-ready under CALEA legislation has caused some consternation, both because of the additional costs it generates, as well as the technical complexity of devloping a solution to meet the May 2007 deadline. In June, an IT trade group issued a report outlining many of the problems VoIP providers face in implementing a CALEA-compliant solution, and in response, a group representing companies selling wiretap systems -- so there's surely no bias -- has issued a rebuttal that appears to be little more than saying "no it isn't" to every claim from the first report.
[Pulverblog.pulver.com] The Jeff Pulver Blog: WARNING: The FCC Extends CALEA's reach to ...: The perceived logic was that the FCC would have to adopt new CALEA obligations for "Information Services" if it was going to adopt an Order in the Wireline Broadband Services proceeding that would designate DSL and other wireline Broadband Internet access services as "Information Services" and therefore no longer subject to Title II Telecom regulations. If the FCC had simply played its definitional shell game, relabeling Internet access services as "Information Services" not "Telecom Services" and moving wireline Internet access services out of Title II and into Title I, then, in one fell swoop, the FCC might have lost the current authority to impose CALEA obligations on these newly designated non-Telecom, non-Title II services.

[Acsblog.org] ACSBlog: The Blog of the American Constitution Society: IP and ...: In his op-ed, published in the Boston Globe, Professor Zittrain said, despite the initial negative response from financial institutions, "[t]his actually worked to everyone's benefit...The auction worked as a pricing mechanism precisely because the valuable expertise of the investment banks and institutions was naturally folded into the bidding process, lowering the cheekily high price Google was initially seeking and leaving sentimental investors for once with the chance to sell brand new shares side-by-side with the big players when the opening bell rang." While Zittrain does praise Google for opening up the IPO process, he warns, "Google's implementation isn't a panacea for the complex problems that arise in attempting to value a fast-growing company and orchestrate its going public."
