WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A hacker on a park bench could log onto dozens of U.S.
government computer networks thanks to slipshod security standards at many

Internet phone providers were ordered Thursday to begin supplying reliable 911
emergency call service after regulators heard an anguished Florida woman
describe how she was unable to summon help to save her dying infant daughter
The Federal Communication Commission gave companies 120 days to certify that
their customers will be able to reach an emergency dispatcher when they call
911. Also, dispatchers must be able to tell where callers are located and the
numbers from which they are calling
Life is what happens in between plans.
