Despite a Nov. 28 deadline, more than 30 VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) providers have not met U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements to offer an emergency dialing service called enhanced 911.
An estimated 750,000 U.S. VOIP customers did not have enhanced 911, or E911, service as of Nov. 28, according to the VON Coalition, a VOIP trade group.
I hope these users are not planning on an emergency anytime soon!!!
(Note: there is no blame put on President George W. Bush for this event.)
