Your agree with Larsen for what reason?
Did you know that currently five states require PBXs of all varieties
to support E911? In fact, only three states specifically state that
PBX vendors are not required to support E911. That leaves forty-two
states in a legal grey area. Of course, the FCC issued a NPRM last
year giving all states one year to pass legislation on this issue and
warned that if they don't, the FCC will introduce national rules.
Finally, I'd like to point out that my wife is a lawyer, but I don't
seek her advice on telecom law. Why? Because that isn't her
speciality. I hope your corporate attorney is a telecom specialist or
you may want to seek the advice of someone in your field of law.

(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! - :-)

Tom,
I have to go with Matt on this.
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).
