I've had it for two years now -- and almost lost my wife and house to an electrical fire.

Thankfully, my neighbors aren't on the cutting edge of technology and they picked up their POTS phone and got the fire department to my house.

When I called 911 using VOIP? The county dispatcher that I got had no idea why I would be calling him ... and couldn't connect me to my city's emergency dispatch.

If it takes a small fee to open up a cheaper, more efficient technology to more people -- do it.
