Hi List,

There is sad news about a death yesterday because a VoIP provider failed 
to connect a 9-1-1 call to the caller's local dispatch centre.  I just 
wanted to put a reminder out there that it isn't expensive to make sure 
your Canadian VoIP service is complying with the current CRTC 
requirements by allowing your customers to reach help when they need it 
the most.

For more information on 9-1-1 termination, please see
