Vonage Ready to Settle e911 Lawsutis
VOIP Central is reporting that Vonage is getting ready to settle lawsuits stemming from its lack of compliance with e911 regulations to the tune of $500,000.
The lawsuits stem from FCC requirements that require providers to VOIP services make sure that all their customers have access to emergency services. Vonage spent large sums of money getting its customers to register for the service and reportedly is about to come into full compliance with FCC regulations that have been on the books now for a couple of years.
Those regulations in turn gave impetus to a number of lawsuits from states such as Texas over Vonage's inability to deliver access to emergency services numbers. At the moment, it looks like Vomage is getting ready to put all this legal mess behind it. -- Michael Vizard
