Vonage has fought tooth and nail to *not* be a regulated entity.
It's too early in the technology life-cycle for them to be treated that way. I mean, you can get a phone number anywhere the service provider has a pop, and if you want to feed that into existing 911 service systems you've got a lot of mapping issues to deal with, probably to the point where it's not economically feasible, meaning no deployment. Heck, how long did it take for cellular 911 to work right, and now we're demanding the same level of service from a newbie market like VoIP right away? The time will come soon enough where the market will be stable enough for all of us to mandate certain requirements, and we'll get all the regulation we need then. In the meantime, allowing the technology to develop is the best strategy. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
