FCC Rules VOIP Must Carry 911 Service

The FCC unanimously voted to require carriers to provide emergency call centers the location and telephone number of callers who dial 911 from internet phones and ensure that callers reach emergency dispatchers instead of nonemergency lines.
The decision will apply to the more than 1 million customers who use the service, known as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), in a single location or multiple places.
