Lawmakers and
law enforcement agencies have pressured the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to make VoIP (voice-over-internet protocol) companies
provide "911" emergency service to customers. Coupled with concerns
about whether VoIP can really be counted on to replace the traditional
emergency response capabilities of public switched networks, are
questions concerning how vulnerable VoIP transmissions may be to attack.
Is this technology safe and reliable? |
