FCC fines VoIP blocking telco

I know its all over the news but in case you haven't heard the FCC tracked down and investigated the complaints made by Vonage and Nuvia that their customers using Voice Over Internet were being blocked. Apparently roughly 200 customers were unable to even make emergency calls. Luckily for our country the FCC was quick to move and charge the offending company a warning and fine, other countries are not as fortunate. What I find confusing though is some news articles report the offending company (Madison River Communications) as a telco and some a broadband provider and though they do provide phone and DSL services, it would have been helpful for someone to mention this.
