> CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF VOIP PROVIDERS ANNOUNCES FORMATION
> 
> Association wants regulatory changes to include improvement of
> Canada's telecommunications infrastructure
> 
> WINNIPEG, Manitoba: A group of Canadian VoIP providers and interested
> parties have joined forces to create a national industry association
> to develop and promote regulatory policy that reflects 21st century
> realities in the telecommunications industry.
> 
> The goal of this new non-profit association - 'the Canadian
> Association of VoIP Providersÿ (CAVP) - is to present an independent
> perspective on VoIP regulatory issues to the Canadian Radio and
> Telecommunications Committee (CRTC) and to work in cooperation with
> Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) to ensure interoperability between VoIP
> networks and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
> 
> VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol - is a technology that allows
> customers to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet
> connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. However,
> applying traditional regulatory policies to VoIP networks can impose
> artificial and arbitrary restrictions on emerging VoIP carriers.
> 
> By working closely with the CRTC and existing telecommunications
> carriers, the CAVP intends to:
> 
>       * assist the CRTC in modifying regulatory policy to take into
>         account 21st century realities in the telecommunications
>         industry;  
> 
>       * provide a platform for VoIP providers to work with regulatory
>         bodies and the telecommunications industry on regulatory and
>         interoperability issues related to the adoption and use of
>         VoIP services in Canada;  
> 
>       * provide a method of association for VoIP providers in order to
>         achieve mutual goals, including the standardization of VoIP
>         implementations among different providers, and advocacy and
>         education about VoIP technologies to the media and the general
>         public.
