After 36 years in the telecommunications business working for an RBOC I am not surprised or disappointed by SBC's response.

If criticism, jeers and shame are to be passed out they should go to Vonage or any other provider who fails to clearly explain to their customers the capabilities AND limitations of the service they offer.
Please...Vonage clearly informs their Customer's about the pitfalls of 911 service on their VoIP service.

And, in terms of SBC, they may have push for development 1965 (which would have been AT&T at that time), but they have been far more lazy in the past 15 years I have been working in the telecom industry.

What ticks me off is that SBC is trying to harbor ownership of E-911 service (like they do for local loops), which are/were NOT funded by SBC, the infrastructure was paid for by Uncle Sam and Customer's through direct bill charges.

SBC, like they have been in the past with CLECS, is trying to get rid of competition though unfair business practices. Plain and simple.

The Telecommunications industry has, at least since I started in 1965, had industry wide forums for the development, coordination and interface of equipment and technologies.

The fact that SBC prefers to develop standards in such an industry wide forum should be commended not criticized. Such forums insure ALL interested parties have input and a fair hearing. Backroom off the wall designs serve only special interests and not the general good.

If criticism, jeers and shame are to be passed out they should go to Vonage or any other provider who fails to clearly explain to their customers the capabilities AND limitations of the service they offer.
