[Asterisk-biz] 911 Stickers

[Justin B Newman]

The FCC states:

[I]n order to ensure to the extent possible that the advisory is  
available to all potential users of an interconnected VoIP service,  
interconnected VoIP service provers shall distribute to all  
subscribers, both new and existing, warning stickers or other  
appropriate labels warning subscribers if E911 service may be limited  
or not available and instructing the subscriber to place them on and/ 
or near the CPE used in conjunction with the interconnected VoIP  
service.

Ultimately, each provider is on their own as to what kind of message  
they want to display on the sticker.  I suspect less than 1/2 of 1%  
of the stickers make it onto CPE.
