When all the smoke clears, it will become clear former fcc powell was in the pocket of Verizon and SBC (wihcih is shortly to become ATT) with the deregulation of dsl lines and no longer need to sell access to anybody if they choose. here is a link I came across which indicates Vonage has no intention of stopping to acquire new customers and how congress is in process of putting the brakes on the fcc with regard to 911 services http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3567211 Best Regards Greg Cirino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Virus & Spam Free and you can't do better than that! http://www.cedata.com Cirelle Enterprises Inc. 25 Indian Rock Rd #421 Windham NH, 03087 603-425-2221 Matt wrote: The question is.. are they able to cover ILEC areas?

It's basically a portal service. We edit our portion of the E911 database and push it up to the portal. They push the info out to the proper places. Updates take 24 to 48 hours. Its up to us to get the calls to the proper PSAP... which turns out to be somewhat easier than updating those damn databases. So I feel your pain. For some sites (areas not-covered by Omali) we are considering using the local Fax line and hooking up an ATA to that line (with a cutout switch) and using it as the local 911 trunk for that client.

We are trying to do it through 911etc but they are saying they can only help us with CLECs connected with Intrado, and they can't update addresses for people who brought Verizon owned numbers into our system through the CLEC with which we work. It's like pulling teeth to get anything out of Verizon..... On 11/30/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We operate as a full-blown POTS replacement for many of our customers. Several have ditched their local phone company completely. I'm certain this falls squarely on us. Funny thing, we've pushed locally for e911 since the beginning. We just never expected to build out nationwide to support local customers who 'might' pickup their device and try it while at a temporary location. Now if only the database updates were easier to process, if connections were easier to order, if we had provider liability protections, then we could create peering or partnerships to cover the US. OK, Selective routers, two down, 1000+ to go. Someday maybe. Can anyone say IP? I'd like to see each PSAP work into their contracts a requirment for IP connectivity from their local telco. (or other provider) Would make this SO MUCH EASIER! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
