Most recently, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification declaring Free
World Dialup as an unregulated information service was granted by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
This landmark decision by the FCC is the first and only decision it has made on IP communications to
date. Now referred to as "the Pulver decision", the ruling provides
important clarification that computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a
telecommunications service. By doing this, the FCC has delivered a
strong signal to consumers and capital markets that the FCC is not
interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to
traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the Communications
Act.
Mr. Pulver's expertise is widely utilized throughout the communications
and Internet industries, which has now extended into the critical public
policy arena, both nationally and internationally. In addition to his
work with the FCC, Mr. Pulver has testified before the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the United States Congress, the
National
Association of Regulatory and Utility Commissioners (NARUC) as well as
numerous federal and state agencies who have a growing interest in IP
communications. Named by BusinessWeek as one of their 2003
Tech Gurus.
Mr. Pulver is committed to the future of IP communications and is featured
often in the media as true expert in his field. He is a patron/supporter
of the Diabetes Research Institute,
Robin Hood, the
Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame Musuem,
VH1 Save the Music, and is a lifetime member of the
ARRL and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
