Canada: CRTC sets VoIP-911 deadline

Jack Kapica writes in The Globe and Mail:

Canadian providers of Internet telephone services have been given 90 days to notify customers about the availability and limitations of their emergency services.

The notification, issued Thursday by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, says the information about calling 911 must be offered to both current and prospective subscribers. The CRTC includes Enhanced 911 (E-911) services as well.

The CRTC issued the order to avoid possible misinterpretations.
