I was just sharing the news.. FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by Danny Telephone customers who use the relatively new Voice over Internet Protocol technology to power their phones need to understand how 911 dialing works. If they don’t, they’ll lose their phone service, according to the Federal Communications Commission. Here’s the reason: In the past, when emergency calls were received by 911 call centers from … Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by jwenting Sounds perfectly reasonable for customers to be cut off from a service if they deliberately or through ignorance (despite attempts to teach them which are obviously being made) cause problems with that service. It's no different from people being cut off from 911 calls who repeatedly make fake calls as a joke (why it would be funny to place fake… Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by Danny These people won't be cut out of 911 service, they'll lose their phone service all together. And not for causing problems, rather for not acknowledging they understand new rules. Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by Toulinwoek Yeah, that seems a little too punitive, but I also agree that it's unexcusable for anyone to fail to acknowledge. Still, failure to acknowledge understanding of the e911 service doesn't necessarily cause a problem with the service that's being cut off. Seems to me, a good solution would be for the VoIP provider to simply have a message pop up on … Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by Toulinwoek When a person with VoIP service moves out of their area code, they don't necessarily need to have it changed. In fact, many people don't get a number in their own area code to begin with. This is part of the charm of VoIP and also part of this problem. Your number can be in any area code you choose. Also, many customers elect not to receive a … Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by benna I realize they aren't forced to get a new area code, but if people in their area are going to call them and not get charged for long distance they would need to. My assumption is that most people get an area code in the area they reside. Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by Toulinwoek Your assumption is probably correct. I suspect that very few people get those "remote" area codes. Re: FCC: VoIP Service won’t be cut off, yet Community Center by AlecWest Just a followup to my last comment. VoIP providers could ask one simple question to determine whether a customer qualifies for full 911 service: 1) ___yes ___no - Do you plan to use your VoIP phone solely in your permanent residence? If the answer is "yes," you'd qualify for e911 service. If your answer is "no," you'd be… Re: Not so Net-Neutrality and Steve Wozniak's appeal to The FCC Hardware and Software Networking by lapssone The things the government has nothing to do with me Re: Lobbyists Applaud FCC Ruling against American Internet Customers Community Center by jwenting Welcome to free competition at last. You always want free markets, now you have them. Re: Lobbyists Applaud FCC Ruling against American Internet Customers Community Center by Danny Actually I see this as the opposite. More like, "Goodbye" competition. Phone companies no longer need to share one of the most important means of communication. If you don't want Internet from your Cable company, and you don't want Internet from your phone company, you don't get Internet. This is by any means a major blow to consumer … Re: Lobbyists Applaud FCC Ruling against American Internet Customers Community Center by jwenting not at all. Maybe initially it may work that way, but there are now alternatives like satellite and other wireless options. At the moment those are more expensive to implement for a provider than renting a phoneline below market value from an infrastructure provider, with the price restrictions removed that will change. Of course if phone … Re: Lobbyists Applaud FCC Ruling against American Internet Customers Community Center by Danny I disagree. Phone companies in the past faced anti-trust breakups because they monopolized the ONLY phone network. So if you wanted phone service, you had to go with ONE company. This does not apply to Internet, because as you mentioned, there are many alternatives. But whats the kicker? DSL and Cable are currently the cheapest ways to get … Re: Lobbyists Applaud FCC Ruling against American Internet Customers Community Center by Toulinwoek I don't know that it's possible for mankind in general to ever come up with a perfect solution to anything. This is just another example. We want free markets, and, well, this is one of the pitfalls of a free market. We want more "choice" for consumers but does that mean we should force businesses to supply their competitors?
