New VoIP E911 law

July 31st, 2008 - Posted by Caitlin

Last week, President Bush signed H.R. 3403, the New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008. This law ensures that VoIP users will have the same level of access to 911 services as those calling from standard landlines. We described the law in a blog post last month, when the law was passed by Congress. Now that this bill has been signed into law, VoIP subscribers and those considering switching over to a VoIP service should feel at ease, knowing that in the event of an emergency, they will have equal access to 911 service.

    This is a good offer but small voip providers are still not providing 911 service to their clients. I think US government should assist the small companies in this respect as they are assisting the EMR (medical related software developers).

    It didn't take long for people to get comfortable with using the internet in place of a landline. Enterprise IP Telephony has become a huge industry, and as more companies lean toward it I feel like more individuals will do the same thing.

    The amazing thing about VoIP is that it has so many more uses than simply video chatting and the social media push that it has seen. I really think it will become the new standard for enterprise companies around the world in the coming months.
