VoIP/911 Legislation Killed

In the rush to pass port security legislation last Friday night, the Congress stipped out an amendment that would set various VoIP/E911 provisions. Several members of Congress said they were disappointed about the removal, and that they would re-visit the legislation when Congress re-convenes after the November elections. Among other things, the legislation would have provided liability protection for VoIP providers offering 911 service, and established plans for a national, IP-based 911 network.
