Comments on: White Paper on How Internet Works http://bearonbusiness.com/white-paper-on-how-internet-works So much has happened in telecom over the last decade, both good and bad. With BearonBusiness.com, I strive to dissect what’s happened before as well as what’s going on in the here and now. I try to capture stories from the boom, the bust, and, now, the resurgence. We are fortunate to work in a great industry (communications) at a great time (the dawn of the Internet)–let’s reminisce, reflect, and celebrate.

There is an analogous, if not more complicated, version of this situation in the voice world, where carriers are compelled to interconnect with one another and allow transit of voice traffic across their networks. But for Voice traffic the flows of finance, and compensation, are significantly more complicated. Added to the financial complexities, are the effects of migration traffic towards wireless carriers, and the proverbial ‘other shoe’ of a looming FCC decision with regards to the intercarrier compensation treatment of enhanced voice traffic and I think that the worlds of IP and voice are bound to collide again. -Brent Hey Dan –
