VoIP E911 Deadline Passes
An AP newswire article, via CNN, reports that:
Companies that provide Internet-based phone service could be barred from signing up new customers in at least some areas for failing to meet a federal mandate to provide reliable emergency 911 service in all their markets.
The deadline to show the government where enhanced 911, or E911, is available was Monday. However, companies and the Federal Communications Commission were tightlipped, refusing to disclose details of compliance reports.
It was widely expected that no company would meet the deadline since the FCC had given them only 120 days to comply. The VON Coalition, an industry group, has said as much. The coalition did its own survey and estimated that about two-thirds of Internet phone users would have enhanced 911 by the deadline.
