Powell told a receptive audience at an industry conference that letting states regulate Voice over Internet Protocol,or VoIP, services would lead to a patchwork of conflicting rules like those which have ensnarled the traditional phone business for decades.
To do so, Powell said, "is to dumb down the Internet back to the limited vision of government officials. That would be a tragedy."
After his speech, Powell told reporters he expected to introduce a proposal to the full Federal Communications Commission in less than a month, and definitely before a new Congress begins its session in January.
