His partner was able to summon help from afar. So one never know.

it is very hard to see what the FCC is doing right or wrong. However, the issue is if they are going to push VoIP as PSTN, then it has to be regulated as PSTN. I think the issues brought up by Aswath are quite real, though I think it is unlikely anyone is using an IM client to make 911 calls.

once again the decision makers do not have a clue about that they wish to control.
