At the risk of extending a thread that has served its important life, please consider that the issue of 911 is political and financial. Consider 911, from the perspective of FCC and other bodies, as their ticket to existence.
The internet and VoIP are disruptive technologies and social phenomena. They shall change the political balance of power amongst a group of wannabes and potentates. The states want sources of tax revenue and control. The FCC wishes to maintain a role where one might not exist if the internet were to eliminate broadcast communications (their original mandate). We lose as providers and customers regardless. Involving elected people such as Congress-people only makes it worse. They only wish to buy votes with your tax dollars. Education is the best tool but be prepared to be outspent by those interests (RBOCS) who already have the ears and pockets of those in charge. Happy Mother's day :/ Howard White president - VCCH, Inc. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
