From the Paper:

"According to the VON Coalition, regulation should be appropriate to what is being regulated (Miller, 2004). Traditional telephone regulation is thus highly inappropriate for a diversified field such as VoIP. The VON Coalition uses a comparative approach to demonstrate this point. The most important aspect is that traditional telephone companies have a large amount of market power, since the technology is focused on a single system. VoIP on the other hand consists of various providers with limited and diversified market power. This necessitates alternative regulation practices that best benefit the users of the technology."
