Bush approves accelerating VoIP 911 solutions

This interesting item as VoIP leaders applaud Bush on the latest move... From the Pulver Blog - Today, President Bush signed into law the “New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008” (H.R. 3403.) The legislation will help accelerate VoIP 911 solutions by providing direct access to the 9-1-1 network, enabling equivalent liability relief for call-takers, and requiring the creation of a national plan for a next generation 9-1-1 system that uses VoIP to provide breakthrough advances in emergency communications.

Where were you on 9/11? I was at CTIA Wireless IT in San Deigo and it feels like it was just yesterday. Related to this, I stumbled onto a nifty mashup on platial that is titled where were you on 9/11. the app use google maps to enable users to share their experiences from 9/11. An interesting concept in social networking from platial.. nice stuff. See Ed's map at http://www.platial.com/edshepp/map/2968
