| Great Idea It was inevitable that VoIP would be subject to having to provide 911 service. Eventually there would have been a lawsuit from the bells about the unequal regulation of VoIP vs. themselves... |

kudos:1 | Higher Costs All it means is that there will be an additional BS tax on our VOIP lines to cover this integration. My worry is that it will add $10-$15 a month just to meet the FCC rules. |

The fee for 911 services is normally maxed at $1.50/line/month.
It varies from about $0.25 to $1.50/mo/line by area.
This whole situation could have been avoided by NOT offering 911 "like" services and CLEARLY UPFRONT getting a wavier signed by customers stating VOIP is not for emergencies.
Here marks the beginning of the end of VOIP field as we know it now. |

Re: Great Idea Maybe the next step would be to make VoIP providers subject to number portability... |
