The set deadline laid by FCC for VoIP firms to provide 911 capabilities to their customers has finished. Its still unclear what next steps would be taken by both parties.
FCC in its mandate has clearly outlined that all Internet telephony operators have to get enhanced 911(E911) installed in their service in all their service areas. E911 requires that caller’s location and number has to be automatically provided by the company to PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point). VoIP firms were barred to accept any new customers or market their services in areas which were not having E911. Though they don’t need to discontinue services for the old customers who still don’t have E911 services in their region.
FCC officials say that they are still reviewing the documents provided by the VoIP firms submitted before the Tuesday deadline. FCC hasn’t taken any action so far. On the other hand VoIP firms, Vonage and 8×8 are continuing to market their services to new customers and accepting new subscriptions.
FCC deadline past, VoIP firms still in limbo
