Re: Think about it

[BQUOTE=mikes60While I'm not sure another extension was proper, a comparison to cell phones is not valid
[/BQUOTE
The extension is simply for VoIP customers to acknowledge the limitations of VoIP (E- or "not E") 911 in comparison with PSTN E911. I believe a better analogy here would be for the government to demand that a company prove it has received 100% of its recalled product within 30 days of notification when a safety recall is demanded. Many people will ignore canned voicemails, bright snail mail flyers, and form emails. The more attention-grabbing, the more likely some people are to assume that the notification is a marketing gimmick and toss it. I personally think the short time lines given for VoIP E911 implementation and acknowledgement-of-limitations are not reasonable.

I don't really disagree with you. I was really responding to the cell phone analogy. I just didn't want to get into a discussion about the extension.
