This cartoon comes from a website that allows VoIP/IP telephony users to specify the location details for each of their VoIP telephone numbers so that the 999 for emergency services know where to send assistance. Knowing where you are physically calling from can make the difference between life and death yet, since VoIP services are delivered via IP‚ the caller is not necessarily restricted by a fixed location and this poses a challenge for the emergency services' operators. At the website, users set up their locations and assign them to each of their VoIP numbers. This information is then passed onto the UK emergency services to update their databases. Watch the cartoon for further explanation.
