Can we adjust or regulate VoIP with FCC? In the month of June 2005, the FCC granted forcefully 911 obligations to all VoIP service providers. Generally, the users of VoIP services will make calls from their regular telephones and also will receive the call in the same manner only. However, some difference were made between in 911 calls using VoIP and 911 calls using regular telephone services. Regarding this for complete information you can verify the consumer fact sheet on VoIP and 911. Moreover, to meet the terms of FCC it requires interconnected VoIP providers with the Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of’94 (CALEA).

Such considerations will be caused for the new progress in internet technology without fail. Hence, you should be always checked with the VoIP service providers of your choice for the assurance of any advantages and limitations of their service.
