The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has delayed an August 28 deadline for U.S. VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) providers to warn customers about limitations of enhanced 911 emergency dialing service, after VoIP carriers complained that tens of thousands customers could lose service next week.

The FCC ruled in June that customers who have not responded to an E911 VoIP advisory would have their service cut off, and the cut-off deadline had been August 30.
