The FCC's concern is that many of the Telco's are routing existing PSTN calls over IP channels, or are planning to, and thereby avoiding paying regulatory fees and taxes (a savings they are not passing on to the customers). Much as I am against government intervention in tech issues, this is a case where it is called for.
