A coalition of Internet phone providers asked federal regulators Thursday to extend a disconnection deadline that could lead to tens of thousands of customers losing service next week.

The Federal Communications Commission has set a Monday deadline for providers of Internet-based telephone calls to get acknowledgments from their Voice over Internet Protocol customers that they understand the problems they may encounter when dialing 911 in an emergency.

Providers of the phone service, known as "VoIP," are expected to disconnect service to people who have not responded. The FCC notice gave the companies a Tuesday deadline to cut off service.

Hawaii - and I believe - as Larry Kudlow pointed out today on his program, the Republican Governor of Hawaii was doing this :-) - just like Richard Nixon started in the 70s as your article pointed out.
I agree - price caps leads to shortages.

We should see gas lines in Hawaii if this keeps up...
