OFCOM Demands E999 and E112 Services from VoIP Providers To UK Customers

OFCOM the Telecom regulator in UK is concerned that VoIP providers do not provide emergency services calls and has decided to act because of the growing popularity of VoIP. We have reported about it in last July but now OFCOM have released the revised documentations and regulations.
Ofcom said the same condition will apply to VoIP providers from 8th September next year. Traditional landline and mobile telephones provide emergency services for free on 999 and 112 equivalent of 911 in the USA. In USA all VoIP Providers need to provide E911 Services. FCC is the regulatory equivalent of OFCOM.
OFCOM has laid out all the necessary requirements including exclusions and inclusions. All the information could be found here at the OFCOM announcement.

Hi,
Good day. This is solomon from solomon's voip world. I am just interested in knowing what you feel about www.voip-buzz.com. This site has been displaying full length articles from our blogs surround them with adsense adds and thereby make money off our hardwork. He has no permission from me to syndicate any of my content. Though he linked to us but he display full length of the article so why should anybody want to go to your blog to read it anyway. Recently i have seen that google is now ranking the site above us for some keywords.
I have conctacted vinay owner of voipguides.blogspot.com and he said he has no permission from him too. I believe if we work together we can stop this thief that steal contents in the name of syndication. Please reply me as soon as possible to let me know what you think so that we can agree on our possible next move.

Best Regards
Solomon
