Verizon cooperates

The problemof providing Emergency 911 services has been a big hurdle for VoIP providers. A lot of research has gone into the technology of this - but all is to no avail if existing phone carriers fail to cooperate - which has been the case for a while now.

But now, Advanced IP Pipeline has reported that Verizon has decided to work with the VoIP companies. Verizon will provide a solution to VoIP providers via which they will be able to access Verizon's E911 calling system. They intend to start with New York city this summer, and expand eventually.
