[Note:  This item comes from reader Chuck Jackson.  I attended the VoIP 
hearing yesterday.  While it is true that Powell did say that he didn't 
think that VoIP regulation was currently necessary, that was not the case 
with the remarks of his other four fellow Commissioners. Some of them 
clearly seem to feel that some sort of regulation is necessary moving 
forward.  DLH]
