If you are looking for some specialty advice (like VoIP)- you better pay for it! If you are taking the advice you get off ANY list to heart and trying to take it to the bank - you are in trouble. I agree with Tom in that his (Matt's) post was disrespectful and I agree with Larsen in his belief that as long as there is a POTS line into the business ALONG with the VoIP and * server - then the 911 issue has been met/fulfilled. Once again - this is how you and your attorney would read this and interpret the language. I have a corporate attorney who owns 20% of Maximum Access (my wireless company)and he agrees with mine and Larsen's interpretation of the language. No one said we were lighting up MTU's as that language is plainly spelled out not to mention the scenario that Matt L. pointed out.
One more thing - - If Larsen posts on list that there are great demon Chicken Hawks from hell raiding the Chicken Coops all over West and they are headed our way - - - you better put the Chickens in your bed room or be prepared to suffer loss!! There are a handful of men on this list that have my utmost respect and complete trust. Larsen is one of these men as well as Scriv, Harnish and Butch boy Evans who have earned a place in the wireless society that have proven themselves to anyone and everyone that has taken the time to sit down and get to know them. I know there are more on this list and other lists, but these guys have a Carte Blanche in my book because I do know them - I know their hearts and minds, I know their intent is always for the betterment of Wireless and whomever it may be that they are speaking to on whatever the subject may be - period. These guys are the guys who would eat dirt before they intentionally steered one man astray in any avenue in life - period. Keep in mind they are NOT beyond making a mistake! - :-) Mac Dearman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter R.

I am on a lot of lists, so they get confused, but I have seen way too many people ask for advice on listservs that should have gone to either a CPA, state revenue department, or an attorney. You have no real idea who is replying. He could be giving you advice he just thought up. Telecom, especially voice, has specific legal requirements - E911, taxes and CALEA being just a few. It varies in each state. It varies in each situation (when VoIP is concerned, because what is "inter-connected"). Laws about leases and right of way also vary by jurisdiction. If you advice from a CPA or lawyer, you can hold them to it later. Not so much the list poster, cuz how do you find [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Although I am sure a lawsuit will someday be filed because someone took crazy @$$ advice from a list member). - Peter -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
