Actually, having now read the entire proposed law, I think it is remarkably reasonable compared to most of what Congress has done lately. It sets the regulatory threshold for ISPs and VOIP providers at a very low level. It preempts most of the local regulations. It provides for the possibility that the FCC can allow a VOIP provider exemption from 911/e911 service provision based on technical feasibility. It actually, to me, seems like a well thought out and well written piece of legislation. I encourage everyone to read it in its entirety and then contact your representative and encourage them to vote as you see fit. Owen
