An estimated 750,000 U.S. VOIP customers did not have enhanced 911, or E911, service as of Nov. 28. E911 service pinpoints the address of a 911 call coming into an emergency dispatch center. The FCC had softened a requirement it adopted in May for VOIP providers to cut off service to customers who could not receive E911.
