How many pages is this FCC order? I really don't feel like reading through thousands of pages of legalese.

Opening it up in Acrobat Reader, it's showing it to be 59 pages. The link I provided sums it up in a paragraph.

Nothing scanning related...

"The new rules allow VoIP carriers direct access to the nation's 911 systems, just like cellular carriers now have, and also sets out rates, terms and conditions for doing so."

So, are you saying that 911

So, are you saying that 911 calls are not in any way connected to scanning?? How so?

I believe there is nothing in the new laws and statutes that would cause anyone with a scanner to be concerned. The only ones to feel this new legislature is VOIP customers who will then in turn be charged more for E911 service.

Until you can show me how 911 calls can be monitored on a scanner different from the way they used to be -- then yes.

Why does it even matter that it might not be "scanner related"? Read the description of the forum, no where does it say it needs to be "scanner related". It just needs to be of interest to the community and I'd say this qualifies

Nobody said it didn't qualify - I was just letting people interested in scanning know that it wasn't of interest to them

OK, I misunderstood you then

Actually it should remain the same or maybe a bit less. Right now we have to go thru the local LEC like SBC or Verizon etc... to connect to the local PSAP. The LECs charge an arm and a leg for this access, a direct connect will be a bit cheaper for all of us.

Well, in the "scanner" sense, one could decode SIP traveling through the airwaves if the subscriber happens to be using WIFI. Providing that; A: The WIFI signal isn't using a strong WPA key and B: the VOIP communication isn't using SSL. :lol:


But yeah, Non-scanner related. :lol:


Isn't there already provisions that say VOIP carriers must use E911 services? I have Comcast voice and it goes through to Denver first, but I'm told it will then be delivered to my local dispatch. Haven't tried it yet.

Huh????

Ok,

I don't have the "time" nor "patience" to read through all that mumbo-jumbo, "legalese", LOL! So, just what are they saying? Think of ALL the trees, ink, money, we could save if they just "cut-to-the-chase". ;-)

POLITICS.......from the Latin.. Poly meaning "many" and ticks..... nasty, little, blood-suckers.

Yes we do and its mandated, but we had to use someone else to connect to it. With the new law, we can connect directly and eliminate the evil 3rd party.

I see, thanks!

There you go ka5lqj, simple is that. :lol:
