Well, it's about time at least one state legislator stepped up for the VoIP community. As I've learned from your feedback and Trackbacks, you aretired of beingperceived as a cash cowfor state governments that are afraid to raise other taxes or institute budgetary efficiencies.

VoIP industry mover and shaker Jeff Pulver reports today that a new bill in the ColoradoGeneral Assemblywould prohibit Colorado and local jurisdictions from imposing regulations on VoIP.

The only exceptions would be fees to subsidize emergency services.

At last, a state has got it right. Quit looking atVoIP usersas an easy mark.

Agree? Would you like to see more bills like this? I'd like to see your comments in Talkback.
