Re: VoIP is not that good I am sure you said the same thing when the cell phone was born - nevermind the early service meant dropped connections, scratchy voice, and garbled conversations !!!
Or, have you forgotten and forgiven!
And, how long did it take for the cell industry to get E911? You probably don't remember.

Does anyone remember that Western Union tried to eliminate Bell (telephone) in the 19th Century? Same thing again: The establishment trying to shoot down the competition.
VoIP is very cost effective and, in my place (we have Vonage), it is clear-sounding, reliable and better than SBC. I use Vonage exclusively.
The need is there for VoIP to provide a reliable emergency service, true. But, I am in agreement with others that the FCC is being "prompted" by Ma Bell and her offspring to undermine VoIP.
Let's hope that VoIP remains cost effective, provides adequate emergency service connections and improves as it seems to be doing. $24.99 per month is astounding, especially since it includes every feature imaginable as well as no-charge long distance for such an amazing territory.
If people actually read the sign-up information at Vonage, they will see that 911 Services MUST be registered with them in order to have that "feature".
Time will tell......just like the rift between the telegraph and early telephone. |
