Qwest opens 911 infrastructure to Vonage

Qwest Communications has agreed to give Vonage access to its 911
infrastructure. The deal will allow 911 calls from Vonage customers to
travel over Qwest's emergency calling infrastructure in 14 states,
enabling the calls to proceed directly to emergency dispatchers. News of
the arrangement appeared in a letter Vonage sent to the FCC earlier this
week. The agreement puts added pressure on the other Bell operating
phone companies--BellSouth, SBC Communications and Verizon
Communications--to open their 911 infrastructures to Vonage and other
VoIP services. Qwest, the smallest of the four Bell operating companies,
has trialed a Net-phone 911 service in Rhode Island and is promising to
launch a trial in New York City.
