ACMA, Australian Communications and Media Authority has made significant announcements regarding the Telecommunications Determination 2002. According to the announcements, it is planning to do a few changes to the Emergency Call Service and providing free of cost access in ‘two-way’ and ‘dial-out only’ VoIP.
According to the sources of agency, “Many VoIP providers already provide free-of-charge access to triple zero and these proposals clarify that the obligation applies to all VoIP services capable of dialing into the public telephone network.”
Alian CMA also informed about the proposal regarding VoIP services. If VoIP is flagged with Integrated Public Number Database (IPND), this will enable the operator of emergency call number about the location of the caller. IPND is basically a national database comprising of all the listed as well as unlisted telephone numbers. It also stores name, address and the name of the carriage service provider of the customer.
