This seemed relevant on this thread so I thought I would share.. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6047054.html Net phone providers describe E911 obstacles
"We have a long way to go to get the rest of our customers done," said Maureen Napolitano, director of E911 customer service for Verizon If Verizon is having problems with its VoIP stuff, when they could conceivably use the verizon local access imagine how hard it is for a non ILEC affiliated company to do it. Add to that: "We're making progress, but it's extremely complex," said Mary Boyd, a vice president at Intrado Even the people selling the service to interconnect to e911 is having problems aparently, yet they still sell the service Hmm... Even NENA (basically the entity that manages 911 resources) admits there are issues with addresses and other things. In short big players in the middle of 911 are having issues getting this done, and done right. So the little guy has a smaller chance unless they are really little and service only a very small geographic area. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
