Internet phone providers given more time on 911
Wow, a whole month!
A Reuters newswire article by Jeremy Pelofsky, via Yahoo! News, reports:
Internet telephone service providers are getting a month longer to get their customers to acknowledge they know about the limitations of dialing 911 for help, U.S. communications regulators said on Tuesday.
Concerned by several high-profile incidents where people had difficulty reaching emergency dispatchers, the Federal Communications Commission had asked Internet telephone companies to obtain customer acknowledgments of the limitations of the service by July 29.
To accommodate carrier complaints that they could not meet that deadline, the FCC issued a notice on Tuesday giving them until Aug. 10 to file a report detailing their efforts to get such acknowledgments.
