Re: Security System and self monitoring



That's right for now, voip don't pay into the systems they are using.
That's changing.  PSTN is now open to voip but they have to pay like
everyone else.  So those low voip rates are going up if you want 9-1-1
service.  Add another buck or two a month.  Number portability has
become a issue when people find out they can port to voip but voip
didn't have to port to another service.  People complain and now voip
will have to pay and provide for the service, add another dollar or 2 a
month.
Connectivity was favorable to voip since they could lease local lines
at a cost lower from what the phone company paid to maintain them.
That's gone with the last FCC ruling.  Voip must pay market rates.  Add
another dollar or 2 to the monthly bill.
Let's not forget that voip has ZERO standards that they have to meet.
If state and federal agencies get too many complaints they will want to
cover their cost and that means voip paying just like the phone
company.
Voip is cheap 'cause it's not phone service, anyone who thinks it is or
that it will conquer the world is full of it. Voip is getting a second
look now that people have been nearly killed using it and because it's
not "REAL" phone service, and rates are going up as they start paying
their way and the free rides end.
