Illegal VoIP faces a block
Four mobile operators have signed up for a system that can automatically detect illegal international call termination powered by voice over internet protocol (VoIP). The system, already set up on the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) premises, will help both the telecoms regulator and the operators to detect the mobile numbers that will be used for illegal call termination. Four operators — Grameenphone, Banglalink, Warid Telecom and Citycell — yesterday connected themselves to SIM Box Detection system that is based on a call method and uses many different routes to provide results with accuracy.

FCC Extends Section 214 Discontinuance Rules to VoIP
On March 19, 2010, Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) rules extending service discontinuance obligations to interconnected VoIP providers formally took effect. The rules were announced in an order released by the FCC last May, and took effect in March after receiving approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in December. The FCC justified the new rules as necessary for consumer protection, stating a desire to “protect customers from an abrupt discontinuance, reduction, or impairment of [VoIP] service”. As of the effective date of the new rules, interconnected VoIP providers wishing to discontinue service must comply with the same procedures as legacy telecommunications providers. These requirements include providing advance written notice to affected customers, applying for authority to discontinue with the FCC, and waiting for a 30-day comment period to pass before discontinuing service. The implementation of these new discontinuance requirements marks another step towards increased regulation of interconnected VoIP providers. In the future, VoIP providers must consider these exit requirements before discontinuing service.

Adiós Asterisk, bienvenido Callweaver
Adiós Asterisk : No suele ser mi área de trabajo, pero debido a la cantidad “enorme” de gente que idolatra esta aplicación y aunado al interés sobremanera de lo que ocurrió en los últimos meses con respecto al conflicto de la FSF y la comunidad de desarrolladores contra Digium (la empresa que lleva el proyecto Asterisk) y sus intenciones de mantener una licencia dual, que además de no ser libre, revoca los derechos de autor de las personas que colaboran con el proyecto. Digium había cometido el pecado de crear una licencia que “revocaba” todos los derechos de autor y los cedía “sin ninguna garantía” a la empresa (y esta era la licencia que “ellos” consideraban open source), combinada con una licencia privativa comercial

Broadband Britain – really?
I’ve just spent the last few weeks trying to suck the cloud through a very thin and broken straw – my mistake, trying to use the Internet in the City of London. The proposed telephone tax that came out of the Digital Britain report (and failed to find its way through parliament in the finance bill) was supposed to guarantee ‘fast’ broadband access across the country. What this meant in practice was a 2Mb/s (max) ADSL connection for rural areas that presently don’t get any broadband at all
