European Union considering binding guidelines in support of VoIP

The European Union is considering implementing binding guidelines to force wireless network carriers to support VoIP services such as Skype and Google Voice, according to sources.

Across Europe, carriers have banned VoIP services, calling the decision into question by the EU. Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper is reporting that the organization is already preparing a draft that would force the carriers to allow VoIP calls. The newspaper also cites that the European Union is looking into possible antitrust charges against carriers who block the services. [via EngadgetMobile]
