The federal government is preparing to override the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) plans to regulate Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) service.
Large corporations have been slow to embrace hosted or network-based voice-over-IP (VoIP) services despite the hype about lower costs and compelling applications.
Yahoo Inc. and British Telecommunications PLC (BT) are extending their partnership to offer consumers in the U.K. the option of making telephone calls over Yahoo's messaging product, the companies announced Thursday.
As expected, only telecommunication companies will be allowed to offer voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services based on the draft guidelines prepared by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
