SBC, BellSouth, Vonage Pen 911 Deal

Well, today seems to be the day for VoIP news.

Ed Oswald writes in BetaNews:

Vonage on Thursday announced that it had signed deals with SBC and BellSouth to provide enhanced 911 services to its customers in three out of four major service areas of the the two companies. The talks had been ongoing since April. This comes before an expected ruling on Thursday by the FCC to force traditional and VoIP phone companies to work together within a certain period of time or face possible sanctions.

Vonage penned a deal with Verizon on May 4 that will give it access to enhanced 911 services across the phone providers coverage area.
