No 911, No VoIP
Computers | May 20, 05
The FCC voted 4-0 yesterday to require certain providers of VoIP phone services to supply enhanced 911 (E911) emergency calling capabilities to their customers as a standard feature. This order applies to any VoIP service that enables customers to receive calls from and terminate calls to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The order does not apply to software companies like Skype that only provide computer to computer connections.
