911 help may be on way for VoIP users
May 7, 2005 /
A big shortcoming of most Internet-based phone services — the lack of full-featured 911 service — is expected to be remedied this year as providers, regulators and local phone companies quickly coalesce to resolve the growing public-safety hazard.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin is recommending that Net-based phone companies be required to offer the full-featured service, called Enhanced 911, or E-911, by fall, three FCC officials told USA TODAY.
Commissioners are expected to approve the proposals later this month.
