With the deadline coming up for sending notices to customers, I found it curious that out of 4-5 different providers I use, to date only one of them has contacted me. The rest don't even have anything on their website that I could find. Junction Networks was the only one that actually sent me a letter and also have everything right on the first page when you login to their system. A week or so ago I remember reading an article where the CEO from one of my vendors was complaining that they wouldn't have enough time to get all of their customers to respond in time. I thought that was pretty funny given that they don't seem to even be contacting anyone yet. There isn't even anything on their website except a statement that they do not plan to support 911 anytime soon. Am I missing something here? Is the FCC going to be extending deadlines and that's why the apparent lack of action on this issue? Just curious. I thought I would have started receiving letters a long time ago. Chris
An extension of 30 days has been granted. Just like the HDTV broadcast requirement deadlines the FCC cooked up I'd predict there will be a few more extensions before the fight is over. http://tinyurl.com/a8tj8 -- Reuters article> Am I missing something here?

Broadvoice sent out a notice and threatened to disconnect me if I did not respond. If I disagreed with their stand they would disconnect me too. I think they said something like we don't have it and we ain't getting it. Click here to acknowledge. I'm guessing that the statement gets them off the hook? snacktime wrote:> With the deadline coming up for sending notices to customers, I found > it curious that out of 4-5 different providers I use, to date only one > of them has contacted me.

Packet8 got around this in an interesting way....charge clients $1.50 per month for E911 or have the option of saying no. Lol, how many people do you think took them up on that offer?
