Vonage today announced that more than one million subscriber lines now have Enhanced 911 (E911) service, a feature that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number. Recently, the FCC gave Vonage, and all Internet-based phone service companies, 120 days to create an E911 system and provide all of its customers, wherever they are in the U.S., with E911 service. According to Vonage they now provides Enhanced 911 Service to 70% of its subscriber lines. This is still a far cry from the FCC mandated 100% coverage, but you won't hear any negativity coming from Vonage. In fact, they sound pretty damn proud of their 70% number according to their press release. It states, "With one million subscriber lines turned up with E911 service in just 9 months, Vonage is leading the fastest nomadic E911 deployment in telecommunications history," said Jeffrey A. Citron, Vonage's chairman and chief strategist.
