- W332624097 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION On March 4, 1996 America's Carriers Telecommunication Association (ACTA),(1) a trade group representing primarily medium and small long distance telephone companies, filed a controversial Petition for Declaratory Ruling, Special Relief and Institution of a Rulemaking with Federal Communications Commission (FCC).(2) ACTA alleged that providers of Internet telephony software operate as uncertified and unregulated common carriers(3) in contravention of FCC Rules and Regulations. The trade association suggested need for regulatory parity: assertion of jurisdiction and imposition of common carrier regulation by FCC over Internet telephony software companies because conventional, telephone service providers face such government oversight.(4) ACTA also charged that increasing use of Internet resources for telephony could result in a significant reduction of Internet's ability to handle customary types of Internet traffic.(5) Much of extensive opposition to ACTA Petition predictably focused on relief ACTA sought: expanding FCC jurisdiction and regulation to unregulated software enterprises that make it possible to use the Internet to provide telecommunications services . . . .(6) Netscape Communications Corporation and other stakeholders in current controversy have asserted that FCC cannot subject Internet telephony software providers to common carrier regulation.(7) The basis of this assertion is that their products constitute enhanced services(8) and information services.(9) Others(10) argued that Internet telephony software providers are exempt from common carrier classification because definitions of access software(11) access software providers(12) and interactive computer service(13) expressly qualifies such entities for exclusion.(14) The ACTA Petition also raises several broader issues largely ignored by commenting parties: * What steps, if any, FCC should undertake to eliminate regulatory asymmetry, i.e., different and inconsistent regulatory treatment of competing enterprises and services,(15) where to do so it must assert jurisdiction and regulate a previously unregulated industry, as opposed to fostering regulatory symmetry, typically resulting in fewer or eliminated regulations; * When should FCC maintain regulatory asymmetry, despite some legal and economic arguments favoring a single, consistent regulatory regime; * To what extent does Internet telephony support or frustrate long-standing efforts to foster universal service;(16) and * How should FCC balance long-standing objective of achieving universal access to Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) with its new and broader mandate to encourage provision of new technologies and services to public(17) including a high-speed, switched, broadband telecommunications capability that enables users to originate and receive Pretty Advanced New Services (PANS), including high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications using any technology.(18) This Article will examine consequences of continued regulation of incumbent common carriers in an environment where certain newcomers can operate free of regulation. Incumbent common carriers argue that a level competitive playing field necessitates either their deregulation, or regulation of newcomers, such as internet telephony software providers. However, ongoing asymmetrical regulation has compelling justifications, including serving objectives articulated in Telecommunications Act, promoting competition and innovation, stimulating downward pressure on rates, and promoting universal service. This Article concludes that while Internet telephony itself may fall within new, broader definition of telecommunications service,(19) enabling software required for such use does not. The FCC can avoid key policy and regulatory issues raised by ACTA, based on a narrow interpretation of Communications Act, as amended. …" @default.
