The example Matt listed was a business that purchased a phone
system. This phone system happens to be an Asterisk system that
has a POTS line terminated in it. Some traffic is routed via VoIP
offerings available on the net, while other traffic is routed to
the POTs line. The ANI/ALI would be the business location, since
that is where it is installed. I'd say (though IANAL), this would
be no different from installing a "normal" PBX in a building with
some POTs lines and a T1 to another office (which may or may not
have it's own POTs lines). You're not suggesting THOSE are illegal
are you?
I am not suggesting anything is illegal. I am informing the list of
what is compliant based on research I conducted, comments made by the
FCC, legal advise received from council, etc. Many on this list like
to just make things up as opposed to getting an actual legal opinion
from a practicing attorney that specializes in this field.
Anyway, the test is whether your provide a VoIP service that is
connected to the PSTN and that VoIP service is capable of E911. Your
customer could be the PSAP and still not be compliant if your VoIP
service isn't capable of E911. Further, there are 911 compliance
issues for PBX vendors as well. If your customer is in an MTU and the
911 operator only has the address of a building how is someone going
to be directed to the correct floor or the correct room? That
information is now supposed to be provided as well.
