The Federal Communications Commission is scheduled on Wednesday to begin enforcing its requirement that VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) providers that use the public telephone network make sure that 100 percent of their customers know whether they can access 911 services. Those customers who haven't acknowledged that they can or cannot access the emergency network are to be restricted from regular VoIP usage. According to industry groups and the latest FCC filings by VoIP providers, as many as 50,000 Net phone users--about half the estimate floated last month--could be disconnected or see their service curtailed this week.
