| The first thing the VOIP providers could do... ...is setup their systems so your service will not work until you setup the 911 feature. That Vonage 911 setup screen is great but your service will still work if you leave it blank. Force the customer to set it up and prevent them from using the service until they do. |

I think what happened with VOIP is people forgot that when they moved over, and the problem is only going to get worse, not better. Then and now the FCC is now fixing to regulate it and I feel the FCC has no one to blame for the fix than the consumer public, and the VoIP providers.

Cheyenne, WY | all the stupid people. The problem here is all of the people who act like they have one working brain cell,and when they do something stupid they blame everyone but themselves. These are the same idiots you see out on the open road careening down the highway in a motor home the size of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, and they shouldn't be driving a remote control for a TV.
I am not a big fan of VoIP but this dumping on these providers is just what the Telco's want, they may not be facilitating these legal assaults but you can be sure they are not upset they are happening.
As I have said before there is going to be a mass extinction of small VoIP providers, while the larger ones will be ingested by the one of the big boys. From a investor's point of view the only value I can see in having stock, if traded, in any of these larger VoIP companies is to be in a position to be bought out by a Telco, or Cableco at an inflated price.

I am not sure it would cost more unless we are talking about a fully e911 integrated system which the FCC order does not appear to address. If it is to be setup like Vonage has now, you are programming the number "911" to forward to a specific 7 or 10 digit number. That obviously will not provide e911 features but the call will go through. If the FCC is pushing e911 then it will definitely cost $$$$ because the telco's are going to extract their pound of flesh.
