 Providers stayaway!!!
 
 There where people saying this Vonage issue was all FUD, anyway, side 
 effect was...Seems this is 911 for VOIP is FCC mandatory 
 now in USA ? Not sure, I use * at my home and have DSL, so I 
 just route my 911 to the 
 landline outbound, I would not expect the outbound IAX providers to 
 offer 911 to me :-)

The FCC regulation is still in the comment phase. When it goes into
effect it will require interconnected VOIP lines (defined as those
enabling calls both to and from the PSTN) to provide access to the
appropriate local PSAP, via the appropriate selective router (where on
exists for that location). The regulation further requires providers of
interconnected VOIP service to provide one or more methods for end-users
to update their location. At least one of those methods must be
accessible via nothing more than the CPE.

The mandatory part that is due right now is the section of the law
that deals with informing the voip user of their current E911 status.
That part is not in a comment phase.
