Heartland Institute which for some reason thinks of itself as “know it all” says that The Federal Communications Commission ruled on May 19 that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony service providers must make E911 service accessible to their customers within 120 days.

Not sure who this fellow, Steven Titch came up with this, but few phone calls to companies that are in the business of e911 (Intrado for one) would prove the technology does exist. Oh wait, we don’t have to take these guys seriously do we… here is why!!!
