The Heartland Institute's Jeff Taylor has an interesting and thought provoking way get the FCC and VoIP players all on the same page.
His observations are a fast read, yet, very much on the money.

Thanks for pointing out the reference. To a certain extent, I agree with the author of the article that instead of taxing VoIP, we should be taxing broadband access. I said so in my filing with FCC (http://www.fcc.gov/voip/comments/AswathRao.pdf, section on Public Policy Matters). But the claim that $5 per taxpayer will be even is not even close. In 2003, the USF bill was slightly less than $6.5B.
