Abstract: The FCC (Commission) requires providers of interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services to obtain: 1) location registration; 2) provisions of Automatic Location Information (ALI); 3) customer notification; 4) record of customer notification; and 4) user notification as a condition of providing service. Interconnected VoIP providers must provide that information to entities that maintain databases used to ensure that the caller's location and a call back number are provided to requesting public safety answering points when a 911 call is placed. The Commission also requires interconnected VoIP providers to ensure that end users understand any limitations of their service.
