Well... It will be most amusing if the 911 dispatchers start a deluge
of calls and letters asking the FCC "What the hell were you idiots=20
thinking?"
when they realize what the FCC has done here.
It's a bad rule on the FCC's part showing they don't understand the
technology and think that VOIP is just TPC/IP (The Phone Company
over Internet Protocol). I hope it doesn't kill anyone, but, other
than that likely outcome, I gotta say it will serve them right.

If this message was not signed with gpg key 0FE2AA3D, it's probably
a forgery.
