Verizon to hand 911 access to VoIP operators
Ben Charny writes this afternoon on C|Net News that Verizon is opening up access to it's 911 plumbing to external VoIP network providers:
"In another sign of detente between traditional phone companies and upstart VoIP businesses, Verizon Communications, the largest of the Baby Bells, said it plans to open its 911 emergency calling infrastructure to providers of Net-based phoning. Verizon announced Tuesday that it would start making its 911 network in New York City available to all voice over Internet Protocol providers this summer. How well things go in the Big Apple will determine whether Verizon will open the rest of the emergency network, according to spokesman Mark Marchand."
