Presence and IntComm WG

[Ben Teitelbaum <>]

Looks like we can all breath a little easier today and sleep a little
more soundly tonight.  Computer-to-computer VoIP will remain largely
unregulated in the US, giving us space to develop and deploy advanced
IP voice communications applications.  For services that interoperate
with the PSTN, things are murkier and less settled.

Any comments from VoIPers or PICers who were present at the
proceedings in DC (or who just watched the RealMedia feed)?

Some pointers:
