I believe the FCC requires even deactivated phones to be able to reach 911. Can't confirm, fcc.gov is down. Don't know about CRTC. And I don't know how this could apply to an over-the-top VoIP service--how would an ISP know you're trying to call 911 on Skype? > Besides, if that provider wants to help out, he might setup a captive > portal or something with information regarding tools to clean their > computer. Many providers already do that. Lee
