Re: what about VOIP?

said by Corydon See Profile :

...However other VoIP companies allow you to use your phone from anywhere there's an internet connection. Some allow you to get a number from outside your geographical area code. All of these mess with the E911 service and can result in your call going to the wrong call center or in emergency services getting dispatched to the wrong place.
it was this feature that the FCC jumped on in particular to make sure VOIP providers accounted for - this is very comparable to the cell phone issue, but cell carriers are getting a pass now, VOIP got beat all to hell about it.
