Voice Peering
10:00 - 10:45
Deployment of Voice over IP create the ability for an abstraction where the transport network is disassociated from the telephony service. If this is deployed correctly, it has the ability to create healthy competition between the providers of VoIP, but it also may require some changes in existing regulation on telephony. Changes that make the regulation more technology neutral. Patrik will in this talk dive into some questions asked, for example exchange of telephony traffic, price squeeze situations, and vertical integration, and describe some questions that are not asked, but maybe should be asked.
