Final Senate Commerce Committee Update on the VoIP E-911 Mark-up:
The Senate Mark-up of the VoIP Commerce Committee E-911 Mark-up has been postponed.
There will still be a Committee Mark-up today on the DTV Bill, which apparently allocates $250 million for emergency response funding.
Although it would have been good to see a strong statement from the Senate promoting a more viable emergency response framework than that ordered by the FCC, I consider the postponement of the Senate Mark-up a victory, allowing the Senate a little more time to develop the right balance between promoting innovation while fostering a better emergency response capability.
