VoIP Providers Get Extension

The FCC Enforcement Bureau “will not pursue enforcement actions” against interconnected VoIP service providers that obtained affirmative acknowledgments about 911 service limitations from at least 90% of their subscribers, it said. But the Bureau said it expects those providers would continue seeking the remaining acknowledgments and would notify the FCC once they've reached 100% compliance. At least 21 providers got acknowledgments from 100% of their subscribers and at least 32 others from 90% or more, the FCC said. As for providers that didn't receive acknowledgments from at least 90% of their subscriber, the Bureau said it would forbear from enforcing its requirement until Oct. 31, as long as those providers report to the FCC on the compliance status by Oct. 25.
