SBC opens up 911 networks to VoIP providers
Following in the footsteps of Qwest, Verizon and BellSouth, SBC is the last of the telcos to finally get on the bandwagon and opening up its emergency 911 networks to VoIP providers. This issue has been brewing ever since Vonage got sued when a Texas teen was unable to reach the police after her parents had been shot by a thief. So now that all of the Baby Bells have learned to play nice together, FCC head honcho Kevin Martin won't even have to come up with a plan. His plate sure has been freed up lately, eh?
