Extension For E911 "Not as Good As..." Rule
Roy Mark writes in internetnews.com:
Voice over IP providers have another 30 days to inform customers of possible E911 emergency calling limitations -- or pull the plug on their service.
After Aug. 30, VoIP providers will have to cut off subscribers who refuse to acknowledge the warning, according to the ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The original deadline was Friday, July 29th.
According to the FCC's order: "If an interconnected VoIP provider has not received subscriber acknowledgements from 100 percent of its existing subscribers [by Aug. 29], then the…VoIP provider will disconnect…all subscribers from whom it has not received such acknowledgement."
In addition, the FCC ordered providers to distribute labels warning subscribers about possible VoIP limitations. Subscribers are expected to place the stickers on or near VoIP equipment interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
