Appeals court denies stay on VoIP E911 rule
A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A U.S. appeals court has refused to put on hold requirements that Internet telephone providers offer customers full 911 emergency call services by November 28, a provider said on Tuesday.
The Federal Communications Commission in May ordered that companies like Vonage Holdings Corp., the biggest U.S. Internet phone company, ensure customers who dial 911 are connected to a dispatcher who receives the caller's location and phone number.
Those requirements are due to take effect on November 28. But several smaller Internet phone companies argued that the deadline was unreasonable, noting that the wireless industry has had much longer to make full emergency 911 services available.
