Some Net phone customers may be cut off

Do you have VOIP and have you registered with 911?
"NEW YORK - Providers of Internet-based phone services may be forced next week to cut off tens of thousands of customers who haven't formally acknowledged that they understand the problems they may encounter dialing 911 in an emergency."

  1. The Federal Communications Commission had set a Monday deadline for providers of Internet to comply with an order requiring full emergency 911 capabilities by late November.
    Vonage, the biggest voice over internet carrier with more than 800,000 subscribers, tells the The Associated Press that 96 percent of its customers have responded to the company's notices about 911 risks.
    But that still means 30,000 or so would need to be shut off as soon as Tuesday.
