Surrender to E911 or lose your VoIP calling Privileges

Dear Packet8 Subscriber,

In accordance with the recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Order regarding Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) enhanced 911 (E911) services, we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with the following important information regarding the Packet8 E911 service. Though Packet8 E911 service is currently an optional feature, it will soon be a required element of your service plan and subscribers must be made aware of the limitations of calling 911 from their Internet phone service.

Please review the content of this email in its entirety and, when you have finished, click on the link below to let us know you have read and understand the features and limitations of Packet8 E911 service. This is a requirement by the FCC and, without your acknowledgement, we will no longer be able to offer you Packet8 internet phone service.

Also, please note that Packet8's E911 service applies only to the United States E911 system. If you are using the Packet8 service outside of the United States in a country where the calling code 9-1-1 is used to reach emergency services, Packet8's E911 service will not work in these foreign jurisdictions.

As explained in the Terms and Conditions applicable to your service, Packet8 E911 service already mimics the E911service provided by traditional landline phone companies. However, we are required by FCC rules to send you this additional notice that, under certain circumstances, when you dial 911 from a phone connected to the Packet8 service, E911 service may not be available, or the E911 service may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. These circumstances are:

• The relocation of your Packet8 broadband phone device (DTA 310, BPA 410, Packet8 VideoPhone and Packet8 Virtual Office phones/adapters) to a physical address other than that which you provided when you activated your account.

• Instances where a subscribers broadband phone device fails or is not configured properly.

• An electrical power outage, broadband internet service outage or suspension/disconnection of Packet8 service due to billing or other issues.

• A delay in the provision of Packet8 service ("dial tone" at the

physical address provided at the time of account activation, or at any other

location to which you may later move the Packet8 broadband phone device, due to the time required to process automatic number and location information to be provided to local emergency service operators. FCC regulations, effective 11/28/05, require that 911 calls be transmitted, along with automatic number identification and automatic location information, to the appropriate local public safety answering point. Automatic number identification and location information is typically populated into E911 databases approximately seven (7) days after you provide it to Packet8. However, no guarantees can be made that automatic number and location information will be available to emergency service operators and your service activated (or reactivated at a new location) within this schedule.

• Instances where the local emergency service operator receiving Packet8 E911 emergency service calls may not have a system configured for E911 services or be able to capture and/or retain automatic number or location information.

• Due to technical factors in network design and in the event of network congestion on the Packet8 network, there is a possibility that a Packet8 E911 call may produce a busy signal or experience unexpected answering wait times and/or take longer to answer than 911 calls placed via traditional, legacy, circuit-switched telephone networks.

• The incorrect identification (at the time of activation) of the actual location where the Packet8 equipment will be located. If the Packet8 subscriber fails to accurately report the actual location where the Packet8 equipment will be located at the time of activation of the service, Packet8 E911 communications may not be directed to the correct local emergency operator.
