As I ranted in another forum, this Congressional action is yet another product of the idiots who use products without fully understanding what they are doing going and then whining to the government when said product doesn't work as expected. Most VoIP providers make it very clear their 911 service doesn't work as it would with POTS. If anything, the government should go after those providers who don't make this distinction clear instead of screwing over yet another new technology industry.
Better yet, prosecute the idiots whose willful negligence led to the death/harm of innocent people because said idiots didn't bother to understand VoIP and its problems with 911 service.

| Actually, I think this Congressional action is the result of a bunch of publicity hungry politicians watching an issue get news coverage and then jumping on it.
If the big story of the weekend had been trampoline safety, you'd have seen Hillary and company wanting to regulate trampolines, instead.

As much as I can't stand Hillary and company, there are political whores on both sides of the aisle. But I'm not worried, I know that no steroid-crazed baseball players will hurt me when I'm not looking!
