Nuvio Files Appeal of FCC VoIP E911 Order

Overland Park, Kan., -- Nuvio Corporation, a leading
provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
services, today announced that it has filed an appeal
of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order
requiring VoIP providers to make E911 available to
their customers nationwide by the end of the year.
Because of the looming November 28, 2005 deadline,
Nuvio has requested the US Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia to expedite the schedule in the
hopes of reaching a decision prior the FCC Order
taking effect.

“While we share the Commission’s passion about
deploying 911 service, and we have worked diligently
to provide our users with 911 access, the 120-day
requirement imposed by the FCC is arbitrary and
capricious and without support in the record,”
commented Jason Talley, president and CEO of Nuvio.
“In fact, the record clearly shows that wireless
companies have been given decades to implement this
type of 911 service and are still far from
completion”.

“With the filing of our motion for an expedited
briefing schedule, we have advised the court that it
is imperative that we have a decision by November 7,
2005. Absent that, and with the lack of direction
currently given by the FCC, we will have no choice but
to start suspending some users. Our users are
primarily small to medium-sized businesses, and we
have to be able to notify them in advance of any
service interruption,” Talley stated.
