FCC ruling
FCC has ruled that Internet telephony providers will not be required to cut off their subscribers in the US even if they are unable to provide them with enhanced 911 emergency services. However, VoIP telephony providers will no longer be able to market their services in areas where they are not able to connect 911 calls to a subscriber’s location.
VoIP providers have filed a petition in the U.S Court of Appeals stating that offering enhanced 911 services requires overcoming several impediments. VoIP providers fear that restrictions on their marketing activities will actually slow down their VoIP deployment and offer an open field to their competitors.
