WSJ: Google and the Problem With 'Net Neutrality' http://bit.ly/4r4xZD (WSJ) I say again: Google Voice has nothing to do with Internet Access or Net Neutrality. Nor is Google Voice a common carrier telephone offering. It is an *application* that requires the user to have conventional landlines or cellular lines for access. It might be argued that if it were possible to "port" your existing conventional phone numbers directly into Google Voice -- effectively making Google your local phone company -- this analysis might change. But as currently configured, attempting to equate Google Voice with telephone companies when it comes to interconnect rules is simply nonsensical. It's not even a ... close call. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
