How many people have died because of mis-configured 911 VOIP services?
I know of two such cases, one in FL and one in Calgary.
Do you mean to say, "How many people have died following a failed attempt to dial 911 via VoIP"? I would suggest that it is rare for medical professionals to say with certainty that had a call been "correctly" terminated to a 911 operator that a person's life *would* have been saved. Only that there would have been an increased likelihood of the caller surviving. Semantics, yes. But ... a worthy distinction in my opinion. Yours, -jbn
