State will retain its ability to regulate new Voice Over Internet communications technologiesBoston – When the Commonwealth of Massachusetts put forward a new Economic Development bill, Verizon and Comcast inserted a little known provision to deregulate "Voice Over Internet Protocol" technology, often called VOIP. VOIP is the communication technology of the future. Soon nearly every telephone call will be made using an internet protocol instead of the traditional wireline network.

"We need to partner with our customers for quality services and good jobs," said IBEW Local 2222 Business Manager Myles Calvey, who also chairs the telephone workers T6 Council that covers all of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

"Hundreds of concerned citizens and telephone workers made calls to their elected representatives to resist the attempt to de-regulate this new industry," said Senator Steven Tolman, who championed the cause in the Senate chamber. "I was proud to stand with working families today in an effort to keep jobs in Massachusetts and available to hardworking men and women." »
