FCC establishes Net telephony E911 task force

Marguerite Reardon writes in C|Net News:

The Federal Communications Commission announced Monday the creation of a task force made up of federal and state officials that will help enforce 911 service requirements for Internet telephony providers.

Individuals from the FCC and state public utility commissions will serve as members of the task force, and they will work closely with representatives from the public safety community, the FCC said.

The task force is expected to develop educational materials to ensure that consumers understand their rights and the requirements of the FCC's VoIP E911 Order, which was issued back in May. It will also come up with rules to help providers expedite compliance, and it will compile data and share best practice information.
