AT&T terminates VoIP accounts
Source: voipcentral.org
I am surprised that big giant like AT&T is canceling VoIP accounts showing inability to provide E911 services.
A Slashdot report points out that the company has sent termination letters to the VoIP customers clarifying suspension of VoIP service in a month and permanently disconnection in two months.
AT&T has explained that the technical problems associated with E911 service have forced the company to terminate VoIP accounts.
If AT&T remains firm in its stand, I guess the VoIP E911 service will not see light of the day.
The FCC has made it mandatory for the VoIP companies to ensure emergency services like mobile operators.
Interestingly, the announcement came just a few days after the Senate Commerce Committee has approved the VoIP E911 bill brining the right to access essential 911 components for the service providers.
