E911 deadline extended by FCC

Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com

Thousands of Internet phone users who have not yet acknowledged limitations to their providers’ 911 service will get an extra month before their service is cut off.

On Friday, the Federal Communications Commission said it would extend the deadline another 30 days, to Sept. 28, 2005, for voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers to notify all their customers of the limitations of E911 service and for customers to acknowledge the notification.
