Is Verizon dropping E911 service?

Source: voipcentral.org

Russell Shaw of ZDNet claims, he has received an e-mail from Verizon which states that the company will stop providing 911 services from first of next month.

The email reads,

Effective on or about April 1, Verizon Web Calling will no longer connect calls to emergency services providers. Calls to 911 and other emergency service numbers will not be completed.

Russell Shaw says that the mail has been sent to him from support@verizon.com.

However, we should not read too much of the mail, since there is no official announcement from the company. After all, dropping E911 service by established player like Verizon, will badly affect the VoIP service in America.
