Date: 5/9/2011
Length: 12:45
Junkies: George David, Mark Fletcher

Summary: Wide spread adoption of recommended E911 standards – despite everyone’s "good intentions" – has been an elusive goal. Now, in an industry first, the Michigan PUC has initiated a proceeding that would make penalties for MLTS E911 noncompliance mandatory. Listen in as Mark Fletcher, Avaya’s E911 Product Manager, and Voice Report Publisher George David discuss the prospects of the Michigan initiative, and as importantly, the precedent it may set for the rest of the nation.
