- The 106th Congress had two proposals that addressed Internet telephony. Rep. Upton's H.R.1291 Internet Access Charge Prohibition Act of 1999 would have affirmatively not prohibited the imposition of access charges on Internet telephony (while prohibiting the imposition of access charges on the rest of the Internet). Rep. Markey's HR 4769 Internet Telephony Access Charge Prohibition Act of 2000 was a response to Upton's legislation, prohibiting the imposition of access changes on Internet telephony. Neither Bill became law.

- Excise Taxes; Communications Services: IRS
Section 4251 imposes tax on amounts paid for certain communications services, including local and toll telephone service. Section 4252(a) provides that local telephone service means the access to a local telephone system, and the privilege of telephonic quality communication with substantially all persons having telephone or radio telephone stations constituting a part of such local telephone system. Section 4252(b)(1) provides that toll telephone service includes a telephonic quality communication for which there is a toll charge that varies in amount with the distance and elapsed transmission time of each individual communication. Section 4252(b)(2) provides that toll telephone service also includes a service that entitles the subscriber, upon payment of a periodic charge (determined as a flat amount or upon the basis of total elapsed transmission time), to the privilege of an unlimited number of telephonic communications to or from all or a substantial portion of the persons having telephone or radio telephone stations in a specified area which is outside the local telephone system area in which the station provided with this service is located.
A tax on communications services has existed for over 100 years. The communications services that currently are subject to the tax are defined in section 4252, which was enacted in its current form in 1965. That section describes the local and long distance telephone service sold under the 1965 Federal Communications Commission rules. Existing Treasury regulations do not reflect the 1965 statutory change.
Sections 4252(a) and (b) define local and toll telephone service in terms of telephonic or telephonic quality communication, which means voice quality communication. Since 1965, numerous communications services have been developed and marketed, the methods of transmission have expanded, and the industry has been deregulated.
As a result of these changes, questions have arisen concerning the application of section 4251 to certain communications services that were not available in 1965. In response to these questions, Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing regulations that would revise the
existing regulations to reflect changes in technology.
The test for taxability under section 4251 is whether a service for which an amount is paid is a communications service described in section 4252. The purpose of this ANPRM is to solicit information from the public on how present technology should be treated within the description of telephonic or telephonic quality communication in the definitions of local and toll telephone service under section 4252.
To ensure that any new regulations accurately reflect the state of today's communications services industry, Treasury and the IRS request that communications services providers and other interested parties submit comments and suggestions describing the various technologies, services, and methods of transmission currently available for transmitting data and voice communications and how they should be treated under section 4251

- SBC Sec. 10 IP Platform Services Petition
In this Order we address a petition filed by SBC Communications Inc. (SBC) requesting that the Commission forbear from the application of “Title II common carrier regulations” as contained in the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), to “IP Platform Services.” For the reasons set forth below, we deny SBC’s petition. We find that the petition is procedurally defective because it asks us to forbear from the application of statutory provisions and regulations that “may or may not” apply to the telecommunications carrier or telecommunications service at issue. In addition, the evidence and arguments set out in SBC’s petition and subsequent pleadings are insufficiently specific to permit a finding that forbearance is appropriate

- Local Competition and Broadband Reporting, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 99-301 (broadband data gathering - asking questions about IP Telephony). This proceeding developed reporting requirements for telephone competition. Discussing the reporting of local lines, the FCC states "As a result, when evaluating the development of local competition, we believe it is necessary to include the development of IP-telephony service. However, while the proposed survey instructions direct reporting entities to report lines that may be used in connection with IP- telephony service, as discussed below, the survey questions do not identify the use of IP- telephony per se. We seek comment whether we should undertake a more specific determination of the extent to which the internet is being used to provide telephony services and how we should do so. " The Report and Order that closed the proceeding does not seem to reference IP Telephony at all.

- "VOIP is also cost effective because all of an organization's electronic traffic (phone and data) is condensed onto one network. Although there is a non-trivial initial startup cost to such an enterprise, significant net savings can result from managing only one network and not needing to sustain a legacy telephony system in an increasingly digital/data centered world. Also, the network administrator’s burden is lessened as they can now focus on a single network. There is no longer a need for several teams to manage a data network and another to mange a voice network. The simplicity of VOIP systems is attractive, one organization / one network; but as we shall see, the integration of security measures into this architecture is very complex."
