Net phone 911 rules now public

Any U.S. Net phone operator must offer enhanced 911 if its subscribers can
call, or get calls from, traditional landline and cell phones, according to
Federal Communications Commission order released Friday.

That's a large swath of, if not all, VoIP operators.

"We believe that a service that enables a customer to do everything or
nearly everything and more (as) using an analog telephone, can be required
to route 911 calls to the appropriate destination," the 90-page order
states.

The FCC decided May 19th that VoIP operators must offer 911 and accompany
each call with the dialer's address and phone number. On Friday the FCC
released the actual order.
