Nuvio Sees Potential Discriminatory Practices in Broadband VoIP
Nuvio, a provider of business and residential broadband VoIP services, filed an ex-parte letter with the FCC to combat what it sees as "potential discriminatory practices by broadband Internet access providers."

Nuvio is seeking government regulation to preserve competition in the VoIP market by preventing "any discriminatory against unaffiliated VoIP providers in favor of affiliated providers." Nuvio, which is based in Kansas City, is especially concerned that rural ILECs will use discriminatory practices to artificially keep VoIP competition from reaching rural customers. Nuvio is urging the FCC to exercise its Title I jurisdiction to prohibit discriminatory practices of vertically integrated broadband/VoIP providers.

"Broadband providers have nothing to lose and everything to gain from degrading the connection quality of their customers who are using unaffiliated VoIP providers," said Jason Talley, president and CEO of Nuvio Corporation. "The few customers they lose from discrimination is drastically offset by the substantial increase in its VoIP subscribers, market share and revenues from the practice.
