What are the implications of the FCC’s E-911 Order on Wireline, Wireless (CMRS), Satellite, and other providers who cannot provide E-911 service to Rural America by Nov. 28?

As the Nov. 28 Deadline for compliance with the FCC E-911 for VoIP Order approaches, I have decided to issue a Pop Quiz to my friends in the Blogosphere, mostly because I need a reality check.

(1) Does the FCC E-911 for VoIP Order only apply to VoIP providers who do not have the backing of an ILEC, a cable company or a satellite company?
(2) Are those who have not implemented IP technology exempted from the E-911 for VoIP obligations?
(3) Are those wireless, satellite, cable companies or rural telcos who have incorporated IP technology somehow exempted from the E-911 for VoIP obligations?
(4) What separates the carriers in the proceeding question from the stand-alone VoIP providers directly implicated by the Order?
(5) Should it be relevant whether or not a provider has incorporate IP technology in determining whether the provider is allowed to offer service?
(6) Do rural LECs have to stop marketing service where there is not an E-911 solution in place?
(7) What would be the motivation to single out IP technology from the other technologies used to deliver voice communications?
(8) It cannot be possible that the only reason the unaffiliated VoIP providers are being singled out for more onerous restrictions and excluded from providing service to potential consumers is that they might take business from carriers with deeper pockets and political connections, can it?
(9) Is there any logic to any of this?

On November 28, two weeks from now, VoIP providers will not be allowed to market VoIP services where there is not an E-911 solution available in that vicinity. As I have mentioned, this is the first time, to my knowledge, that the FCC has determined that consumers in vast swaths of America should not be allowed to avail themselves of a service or technology with a willing vendor or supplier. Wireless (CMRS) providers, satellite providers, other mobile providers, rural providers across vast stretches of America will not be able to provide E-911 to these very same regions, and yet, it seems that they will be allowed to continue marketing their services to these consumers. In fact, the FCC is currently considering a petition to extend the deadline by which mobile handsets must include GPS chips. The wireless industry, even backed by the deep pockets of their Bell parents, has had some 16 years to provide E-911, and still cannot provide it to much of the country.


Answers (as verified by Magic 8-Ball): (1) Most Likely; (2) Signs Point to Yes; (3) Ask Again Later; (4) Cannot Predict Now; (5) Reply Hazy, Try Again; (6) Very Doubtful; (7) Concentrate and Ask Again; (8) Better Not Tell You Now; (9) My Sources Say No.

I welcome other answers. Let’s triangulate our Magic 8-Balls. That would be as logical as the FCC’s current approach.

It’s an interesting approach. I commonly see unexceptional views on the subject but yours it’s written in a pretty unusual fashion. Surely, I will revisit your website for additional info.

Diane Sawyer was interviewing a woman named Rachel O’Neill, who was speaking about a mission trip she took to Africa and her experiences while there. http://www.bellodress.com/silver-bridesmaid-dresse-c-38.html
While watching, Pascalle witnessed the spectacle of the very harsh living environment and poor clothing available to the young African girls, which O’Neill realized needed to be changed.http://www.bellodress.com/ball-gowns-bridesmaid-dresses-c-25.html

Three months ago, Pascalle began a mission that started with O’Neill, a resident of Brownstown, Mich.http://www.bellodress.com/empire-bridesmaid-dresses-c-26.htmlan average middle-aged mother of two. O’Neill’s trip to Africa, previewed on the “Nightly News,” had changed her life and many others’ forever.O’Neill, while visiting Africa, could not stand the “rags” the young African girls were wearing any longer. Disgusted, once back home, O’Neill took it upon herself to do something special for the girls, to better their lives in some way.http://www.bellodress.com/sheath-bridesmaid-dresses-c-27.html

This thought sparked the idea for “Little Dresses for Africa” (LDfA), a Christian-based, nonprofit organization O’Neill created in 2007. She explained that the young girls should have something nice to wear, something they can feel wonderful while wearing. The organization makes simple but beautiful dresses out of pillowcases for the young girls.http://www.bellodress.com/black-bridesmaid-dresses-c-28.htmlPascalle took her words and ran with them. She began creating her own dresses out of pillowcases.http://www.bellodress.com/blue-bridesmaid-dresses-c-29.html

“Being a part of this is so rewarding; these girls have nothing and are treated horribly, never feeling beautiful,” Pascalle tearfully expressed. “These girls are so worthy of being pretty, of God’s love, and deserve to know that people halfway across the world love them.”http://www.bellodress.com/white-bridesmaid-dresses-c-39.html

Pascalle’s friends, neighbors, relatives, and even strangers in the community have donated material and pillowcases along the way to help her in creating her dresses.http://www.bellodress.com/brown-bridesmaid-dresses-c-30.htmlThe “Little Dresses for Africa” inspiration and community support led Pascalle to another idea and project. She wanted to make dresses for the “Team Sophie Benefit,” an event that helped to raise funds for the family of Sophie Sparks, a well-known young girl in the community fighting cancer. Pascalle completed more than 25 “Little Sophie Dresses,” raising $295 for the family from donations for her dresses.http://www.bellodress.com/gold-bridesmaid-dresses-c-31.html

Pascalle takes many shopping strolls to thrift stores in search of great deals on fabrics or pillowcases to sew and construct her masterpieces, enriching the lives of many young girls in Africa, who -- because of her -- now know the meaning of feeling beautiful.http://www.bellodress.com/green-bridesmaid-dresses-c-32.html

Once Pascalle has completed her dresses, they are mailed to O’Neill’s organization at Little Dresses for Africa, 24614 Curtis Dr., Brownstown, MI 48134. http://www.bellodress.com/ivory-bridesmaid-dresses-c-33.htmlO’Neill sends them to Africa.To help or for more information, visit www.littledressesforafrica.org. http://www.bellodress.com/yellow-bridesmaid-dresses-c-40.htmlThe site presents volunteers with sewing templates, background information, pictures of the recipients, and more.http://www.bellodress.com/orange-bridesmaid-dresses-c-34.html

So far, Pascalle has completed and blessed girls in Africa with more than 35 of her “designer” dresses.http://www.bellodress.com/purple-bridesmaid-dresses-c-36.html
She is always looking to combine forces and have a “great sewing party” with other local sewing volunteers.“It takes me approximately 30 minutes to complete a dress out of a pillowcase and a little longer to complete one made out of fabric,” Pascalle said.With a smile, Pascalle admits she is still in the beginning stages of sewing and is continually getting better. “Practice makes perfect,” and in time, Pascalle hopes to be creating more and more of her dresses.http://www.bellodress.com/red-bridesmaid-dresses-c-37.html“I love this activity; it has replaced my crayons,” Pascalle said cheerfully.http://www.bellodress.com/pink-bridesmaid-dresses-c-35.html

Let me comment on (7): The problem is that most VOIP subscribers have completely replaced their local service provider making VOIP their only means of home telephone service. Typically, with a cell phone one knows that when dialing 911 you must provide your location. As a subscriber to VOIP service, I am taking a risk everytime I have guests at the house should we need to dial 911. In emergency situations not everyone can keep a level head and do everything right. It would be difficult to expect a frantic person to read the directions on the phone stating that you must tell the 911 operator your address. Consider children who are taught that in an emergency they must dial 911. Most can and do that with little difficulty -- but ask them their address and you're likely not get an appropriate response. I'm not concerned about the cell phones not having E-911 -- although I wish it had. But as my only telephone service, my VOIP E-911 had better be there when I need it, or else ....
