Abstract:
The FCC ("Commission") requires providers of interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services to obtain information regarding their end users' location as a condition of providing service. Interconnected VoIP providers must provide that information to entities that maintain databases used to ensure that the caller's location and a call back number are provided to requesting public safety answering points when a 911 call is placed. The Commission also requires interconnected VoIP providers to ensure that end users understand any limitations of their service and obtain from the end user evidence of such understanding.
