Granted. Of course it is quite a jump to claim that a software program is a "Long Distance Carrier." If I run Winsock on my machine and a Winsock application like Iphone, if anyone is the LD carrier, *I* am because I am digitizing my voice and doing the first part of the switching necessary to send the packets on their way. Maybe the FCC should bust *me* for practicing telecommunications without a license. It would make for an interesting case.

So is telecommunications defined as voice transmision? Couldn't Cu-Seeme be defined as telecommunications also? Or how about the transmission of digital data in general since that's one place where telecom companies are investing. -- "... In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me-and by that time no one was left to speak up..."
