America Online has notified Federal Communications Commission that it will implement a network-based measure that will disable users from availing its service from multiple internet connections. America Online sells TotalTalk VoIP service.
According to eWEEK, ‘there is also a crackdown on mobility by VOIP operators whose subscribers are, technically, not supposed to take their services mobile but usually do, despite the dire warnings or service contract language’.
This means the measure will have a detrimental effect on mobile VoIP’s growth and snuff the immense potential that it has; at least for the time being. However, with the rapid strides in VoIP technology is making, it will be virtually impossible to stop mobile VoIP from flourishing. Some of the clauses in the service contracts with internet telephony companies are utterly ridiculous and unattainable. Subscribers will always find a way out of the regulations.
