On February 8, 2010 a speculative paper on the likelihood that fraudsters proficient in missing trader intra-community (MTIC) fraud might move into voice over internet protocol (VoIP) was submitted to the Boston University School of Law Working Paper Series. Prior to that paper there was very...

Der Siegeszug der Steuerung durch Sprache – auch von komplexen Systemen und Prozessen – ist nicht zu stoppen. Denn Innovationen werden von den Nutzern immer dann gerne angenommen, wenn neue Lösungen mit einem hohen Maß an Bequemlichkeit einhergehen, und das ist hier der Fall: Statt eines...

During the past several years, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has engaged in a series of rulemakings to determine the regulatory status of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The Supreme Court's recent decision in the consolidated cases of National Cable and Telecommunications...

The purpose of this research is to determine whether Internet telephony has had a negative impact on a country's telecommunications infrastructure. Using panel data the statistical analysis shows that call-back did not have a negative effect on infrastructure and high income countries benefited...

The telecommunications market was completely open to competition in 1998 in Spain, as in most EU countries. The model for the liberalization of the market was based on the regulated use of the incumbent operators' network, so that new entrants could initially use these resources to allow for a...

We quantify how user mobile Internet usage relates to unique characteristics of the mobile Internet. In particular, we focus on examining how the mobile-phone based content generation behavior of users relates to content usage behavior. The key objective is to analyze whether there is a positive...

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a disruptive technology that can be considered a menace to current circuit-switched telephone operators. This paper studies the regulation that affects VoIP technology in Latin America, in particular in Chile and Mexico, countries that have different Telecommunications...

This paper discusses the development of local loop unbundling in telecommunications markets throughout the European Union. It elaborates on the regulatory framework in Europe and provides an overview on the recent experience in Europe. Different types of unbundling, allowing for different types...

The introduction of packet-switched telephony in the form of VoIP raises concerns about current regulatory practice. Access regulation has been designed for traditional telephony on PSTN networks. In this paper we analyze the effect of access regulation of PSTN networks on the adoption of a new...

The CRTC recently released Regulatory Framework for Voice Communication Services using Internet Protocol (Decision 2005-28), Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-28, setting out the details of the appropriate regulatory regime applicable to the provision of VoIP services. This commentary aims to comment...

With the advances in wireless technology during the past years, continued and reliable connectivity has been also ensured through broadband access network. A present day wireless network which provides affordable speed to end user requirements is wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11 standard), which is...

This article focuses on existing technologies in telecommunications but also on a comparative analysis of VoIP protocols. There will also be listed ways to extend networks and processes that contribute to the steady operation of the network as a set SLA with the support of a large number of...

Drawing on Schumpeterian concept of creative and adaptive responses literature the article analyses how different firms' behaviour can influence structural and knowledge change at both firm and industry levels. We use this theoretical framework to analyse a qualitative case study analysing the...

The path dependency literature provides insights on the dynamic allocations processes in which events are non-ergodic and have multiple absorbing states. Technological change belongs to this class of processes. We contribute to this conceptual framework by analysing the distinction between path...

This article defines Cloud Computing and highlights key concepts, the benefits of using virtualization, its weaknesses and ways of combining it with classical VoIP technologies applied to large scale businesses. The analysis takes into consideration management strategies and resources for better...

This structured literature review examines the digital tools used to facilitate distance collaboration and the available research relative to the use of those tools. The purpose of this paper was to contribute to a better understanding of Internet based professional collaboration tools, their...

This record of study documents the experience acquired during my internship at SonusNetworks, Inc. for the Doctor of Engineering Program.In this record of study, I have surveyed and analyzed the current standardizationstatus of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) security and proposed an...

La telefonía IP es percibida como una oportunidad para introducir fuerzas competitivas en el mercado de la telefonía. Sus bajos niveles de inversión requeridos cuando se utiliza una red de acceso existente, su capacidad de integrar nuevos servicios y la “nomadicidad” son sus principales...

From the angle of competition policy, Voice over IP looks like a panacea. It not only brings better service, but it also increases competitive pressure on former telecommunications monopolists. This paper points to the largely overlooked downside. In a pure world of Internet telephony, there...

In recent years, the European telecommunications market has witnessed major developments, with rapid expansion in access to telecommunications networks and a surge in the number of available services and applications. While many factors have contributed to the transformation of the...

Is the United States in full retreat from internationally recognized regulatory best practice? Or is it instead headed toward some different destination – "dancing to the beat of a different drummer"? Where is this likely to lead?
