Telecoms Struggle As FCC e911 Compliance Deadline Nears
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Operationally relevent, methinks. W. David Gardner writes in TechWeb News: [snip] In the race to meet FCC emergency 911 (e911) requirements, two firms log some progress, while another seeks a waiver. Under pressure to meet the FCC mandate to activate 911 service by the end of the year, Vonage and Telecommunication Systems (TCS) said Tuesday they will send VoIP E911 kits to provide vital communication information to thousands of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) beginning in mid-August. At the same time, Nextel has informed the FCC that it would seek a waiver from the FCC mandate that 95 percent of handsets be in compliance with location pinpointing regulations by Dec. 31, the Reuters news agency reported Monday. Nextel said 70 percent of its customers phone will be in compliance by the deadline, but it could take as much as two more years for the FCC goal to be fully met.

Any reason > that isn't a better place than NANOG at this stage? i would guess that, if useful discussion is started on cisco-nsp, that the momentum will move there and attenuate here. but, imiho, shutting folk down here first is not a useful social path. randy

Good Morning, Perhaps Susan was not clear enough yesterday. The mailing list administrative committee would request that you allow this thread to stop.

Haven't seen Furgie post this one yet (may have missed it deleting some of the noise in those threads, though). Wired's interview with Mike Lynn. His side of the story, timeline, and motives for the rather climatic ending for what should have been a rather routine Black Hat presentation: http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,68365,00.html -- Crist J.

RIPE NCC to begin allocating from new IPv4 range
by leo vegoda 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Dear Colleagues, This announcement is being sent to multiple lists. I apologise for duplicates. The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address range 89.0.0.0 - 91.255.255.255 (89.0.0.0/8 and 90.0.0.0/7) from the IANA in June 2005. We expect to start making allocations from this range in the near future. We have started announcing two prefixes from each /8, which originate in AS12654. They are: 89.192.0.0/16 89.255.248.0/21 90.192.0.0/16 90.255.248.0/21 91.192.0.0/16 91.255.248.0/21 Details of target names and addresses, reachability tools and other information are available on our web site at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/debogon/debogon.html You may want to update any filters you have in place. Kind regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

There is a draft draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-10.txt- it is a draft because under the current IETF procedures there needs to be 2 independent implementations of the specification, and at the moment only Redback's BGP has implemented this. Once there is a 2nd implementation it will enter the Internet Standards track as a Draft Standard. >If I have something definite to request I will immediately send those emails, http://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2005-08/as.html contains the analysis of the AS number consumption data regards, Geoff
