Welcome to today’s edition of the Vonage VoIP Forum Digest.  Lots of interesting stuff today.

In today's edition of the Vonage Forum Digest, we'll read why some groups are filing a court challenge to a U.S. government regulation that is intended to make Vonage and other VoIP calls able to be tapped in real time by law enforcement agencies. We'll also look at a study that projects how many U.S. households will subscribe to VoIP services such as Vonage five years from now. We will go over a Vonage VoIP Forum thread from a Forum Member who is moving to a rural area and wants to make sure he will be able to get a fast-enough broadband service to run his Vonage connection over. We'll read another thread in which two Forum Members seem to share a problem in which their incoming Vonage calls ring only once, but then are followed by silence.

Welcome to today's edition of the Vonage VoIP Forum Digest. In today's edition, we will dwell heavily on E911, looking at news stories about a new solution Vonage just signed up for on Monday; where and when a key Vonage exec will give his thoughts on Vonage's E911 effort, and then finally, what your obligations are toward Vonage and E911- which you should take care of before Halloween. In keeping with the 911 theme of today's Digest, we'll look at a new forum with lots of posts from readers who have been wondering if their Vonage service was equipped to handle 911 calls or if they needed to resubmit their information in order for it to work properly.
