PSC Warns Thousands of VoIP
Customers Could Be Without Service
Special to the Ledger
The Georgia Public Service
Commission (Commission)
warns that thousands of
customers who have Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
service could find them
selves without communica
tions service on September
29, 2005, 2005 if they fail
to respond to their service
provider concerning the status
of their emergency enhanced
9-1-1 service. The Federal
Communications Commis
sion (FCC) issued an order
on June 3, 2005 requiring all
VoIP providers to notify their
subscribers of the status and
limitations of their E9-1-1
emergency service. The FCC
order requires the VoIP pro
viders to disconnect subscrib
ers who fail to acknowledge
this notification by September
28, 2005. This situation could
leave thousands of Georgians
without telecommunications
services.
The Commission strongly
urges all VoIP subscribers
who have received this notice
but have not responded to their
provider to do so immediately.
VoIP service means service
that (1) enables real-time
two-way communications; (2)
requires a broadband connec
tion from the user’s location;
(3) requires Internet protocol-
compatible customer premises
equipment; and (4) permits
users generally to receive calls
that originate on the public
switches telephone network
and to terminate calls to the
public switched telephone
network.

When Looking For A Job-
Bigger Isn’t Always Better
(NAPSI)-The biggest op
portunities for job seekers,
these days, may actually lie
with smaller
companies.
There are
approxi
mately 20
million small
businesses
currently
operating in
the United
States in vir
tually every
industry and
field from
health care and technology to
accounting/finance, sales and
hospitality, according to the
U.S. Small Business Admin
istration.
Small businesses employ
half of all private sector
employees and have generated
60 to 80 percent of new jobs
annually over the last decade.
A recent CareerBuilder.com
survey found 42 percent of
hiring managers operating in
small businesses still report
difficulty in finding qualified
job seekers to fill their open
positions.
“We talk to small com
panies all the time regard
ing their need for talented
people to move their business
forward and make the next
big idea happen,’’ said Jason
Lovelace, Vice President of
CareerBuilder.com’s Interac
tive Sales Group, which focus
es on recruitment solutions for
businesses with 100 employ
ees or less. “Smaller com
panies offer a unique work
environment that allows its
employees to have an active
role in the growth and success
of the com
pany.’’
Accord
ing to the
survey,
small
business
employees
say there
are distinct
advantages
to working
for compa
nies with;
1. Camaraderie/family
like environment
2. Less red tape in
corporate hierarchy
3. A sense that you are
making a difference
4. Strong growth poten
tial
5. More employee rec
ognition.
Even with all the advantag
es, there still remains a short
age of qualified job applicants
for small business jobs mainly
because of misconceptions
regarding the compensation
packages and career advance
ment opportunities of smaller
companies.
In reality, many small busi
nesses offer compensation
packages that are competitive
with their larger counterparts,
produce considerable revenue
sums and provide employees
with the means to rise through
the ranks quickly in a secure
environment. In fact, job
satisfaction levels for employ
ees of small business actually
track above the national aver
age for all workers.
There are hundreds of
thousands of jobs from small
businesses across the country
posted on CareerBuilder.com.
You can search for jobs by in
dustry, location and job type;
conduct advanced searches
with multiple criteria; post up
to five different resumes and
have jobs that match your job
search criteria automatically
e-mailed to you. Your next big
opportunity with a small busi
ness may be just a click away.
