Which discusses the Vonage case, which was settled, and says

"A larger ongoing question is simply how VOIP will be viewed by the FCC, a 
political organization where a majority of three votes is enough to enact 
telecom policy into law, pending a review by U.S. District Court. The 
Telecommunications Act of 1934 plus the Telecommunications Act of 1996 
serve as the FCC's "constitution," the framework of legislation the agency 
has to interpret and refine. If it goes too far, however, the FCC's work 
can become subject to judicial review and overturned."
 
In other words, what the FCC has jurisdiction over is governed by federal 
law. It can change, of course. But right now, FCC isn't regulating VoIP.

And by the way, a settled lawsuit means nothing in terms of setting legal
precedent.  Don't ask me - ask a judge or attorney, they'll tell you the
same thing.
