A Model For Emergency Service Of Voip Through Certification And Labeling, Patrick S. Ryan, Tom Lookabaugh, Douglas Sicker May 2005

A Model For Emergency Service Of Voip Through Certification And Labeling, Patrick S. Ryan, Tom Lookabaugh, Douglas Sicker

ExpressO

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) will transform many aspects of traditional telephony service, including the technology, the business models, and the regulatory constructs that govern such service. Perhaps not unexpectedly, this transformation is generating a host of technical, business, social, and policy problems. In attempting to respond to these problems, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could mandate obligations or specific solutions to VoIP policy issues; however, it is instead looking first to industry initiatives focused on the key functionality that users have come to expect of telecommunications services. High among this list of desired functionality is user access to emergency …


An Economic Theory Of Infrastructure And Commons Management, Brett M. Frischmann Apr 2005

An Economic Theory Of Infrastructure And Commons Management, Brett M. Frischmann

ExpressO

In this article, Professor Frischmann combines a number of current debates across many disciplinary lines, all of which examine from different perspectives whether certain resources should be managed through a regime of private property or through a regime of open access. Frischmann develops and applies a theory that demonstrates there are strong economic arguments for managing and sustaining openly accessible infrastructure. The approach he takes differs from conventional analyses in that he focuses extensively on demand-side considerations and fully explores how infrastructure resources generate value for consumers and society. As a result, the theory brings into focus the social value …

Rethinking Reform Of Electricity Markets, Joseph P. Tomain Jan 2005

Rethinking Reform Of Electricity Markets, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Rethinking Reform starts with a thought experiment about the complete deregulation of electricity markets. The article goes on to discuss how the traditional model of utility regulation has served its useful purpose and must be replaced. The two recommendations made in the article include the use of marginal cost pricing and an array of smart energy technologies to create a better and more efficient energy policy.

Regulatory Linearity, Commerce Clause Brinksmanship, And Retrenchment In Electric Utility Deregulation, Joel B. Eisen Jan 2005

Regulatory Linearity, Commerce Clause Brinksmanship, And Retrenchment In Electric Utility Deregulation, Joel B. Eisen

Law Faculty Publications

The point of this Article is that if an agency has reached this point in the lifetime of its reinvention efforts by being "linear," then the experiment should end. In the case of restructuring, that is not the case, but two aspects of the situation make it exquisitely difficult to see this: an agency that is trying the same ideas repeatedly (FERC) and a complex set of variables that has hampered restructuring activity. Through this fog, the final point to be made is that if moving beyond the current stasis requires change, this should be contemplated. This industry is famously …


The Blackout Of 2003: What Is Next?, Joel B. Eisen Jan 2005

The Blackout Of 2003: What Is Next?, Joel B. Eisen

Law Faculty Publications

The blackout of August 2003 was a massive dislocation of American life, with millions of people in eight states and Canada losing power and a cost estimated in billions of dollars. As many as fifty million people were affected by the blackout. While the ultimate cause of the blackout is still being investigated, the implications for national policy may not be fully known for decades. The blackout was a wake up call and a watershed event that calls for reevaluation of just about every facet of the electric utility industry. We tend to think of a "wakeup call" as something …


Radio Frequency Identification: Legal Aspects, Reuven R. Levary, David Thompson, Kristen Kot, Julie Brothers Jan 2005

Radio Frequency Identification: Legal Aspects, Reuven R. Levary, David Thompson, Kristen Kot, Julie Brothers

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that identifies objects without having either contact or sight of them. Unlike optically read technologies such bar codes, RFID tags can be read despite fog, ice, snow, paint or widely fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, RFID can identify moving objects. Data in an RFID tag is stored in an integrated circuit, and sent to the reader via an antenna. An RFID reader is essentially a radio frequency receiver controlled by a microprocessor or digital signal processor. The reader uses an attached antenna to capture the data transmitted from the tag and sends the information …

A New Framework: Post-Kyoto Energy And Environmental Security, Lakshman D. Guruswamy Jan 2005

A New Framework: Post-Kyoto Energy And Environmental Security, Lakshman D. Guruswamy

Publications

In this article Professor Guruswamy advances an argument for new energy agreements that address the immense global environmental challenge presented by the increasing global energy demands of both the developed and developing world. Arguing that new energy accords are needed to meet this challenge, he identifies and describes the decidedly interdisciplinary knowledge base and analytics required to negotiate such international instruments. The construction of these knowledge bases call for scientific, engineering, technological, legal, social, economic and behavioral expertise. Professor Guruswamy identifies pragmatic steps--including a targeted research agenda--that will contribute to such an undertaking and begin the arduous process of addressing …

Transmission Siting In Deregulated Wholesale Power Markets: Re-Imagining The Role Of Courts In Resolving Federal-State Siting Impasses, Jim Rossi Jan 2005

Transmission Siting In Deregulated Wholesale Power Markets: Re-Imagining The Role Of Courts In Resolving Federal-State Siting Impasses, Jim Rossi

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

During most of the twentieth century, state and local regulatory bodies coordinated the siting or power plants and transmission lines. These bodies focused on two important issues: 1) the determination of need, so as to avoid unnecessary economic duplication of costly infrastructure; and 2) environmental protection, so as to provide local land use and other environmental concerns input on the placement of necessary generation and transmission facilities. With the rise of a deregulated wholesale power market, the issue of need is increasingly determined by the market, not regulators. Environmental concerns with siting, however, frequently remain contested - especially locally - …


Energy-Efficiency: The Best Option For A Secure, Clean, Healthy Future, Richard L. Ottinger Jan 2005

Energy-Efficiency: The Best Option For A Secure, Clean, Healthy Future, Richard L. Ottinger

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The risks of dependence on traditional fuels have never been greater or more obvious. Modern civilization and the world economy are facing imminent and clear threats of worldwide terrorism. The oil producing countries of the Middle East are increasingly unstable, confronting the world with potentially calamitous energy and economic disruptions. Domestically, our limited refining capacity creates shortages when demand is high and increases prices even when petroleum supplies are plentiful. Yet most of the world is in a state of denial, happy to bask in the illusory security of temporary Saudi oil production increases. Moreover, these new dangers sit on …
