Today’s Squawk Box was on the topic of 911 standards. Guest John Lange is the President of the Canadian Voice over IP Service Providers Association, and an active participant in the CRTC’s process for defining nomadic 911 services in Canada. He explained the issues, solutions and politics surrounding nomadic 911 service. An informative guest, we all went away having learned a ton about the in’s and out’s of providing 911 service to VoIP customers.
On the call: Jim Courtney, James Body, Jonathan Jensen, Ian Hood, Bill Volk, Kyoko Kataoka, John Lange.
Enjoy!
At Mobile World Congress back in February I spend a bit of time with Jeb Brilliant, of Brilliant Productions (note to self… ask Jeb if his last name is really Brilliant. After all, he lives in LA. Could be a stage name!)
