I would think that GPS coordinates or maybe triangulation would be the
end-all for locating where you are.

GPS co-ordinates, your personal address, triangulation of cell towers to
pin point your locaton.
None of that satisfies e911, like the e911 that we are required to do
provide to become a voip carrier and provide voip service.
I say, if they can do this, there is a double standard and we're getting
the short end of the stick.
Why can't I sell wifi voip service with out the e911 again?

They wouldn't sell me a phone until I gave them a "service address". As
I understand it, if they can't determine a location from the regular cell
tower triangulation, they use that address.
Personally, I don't care all that much. I lived for thirty years before
the 911 system was available. I understand a few people have perhaps died
from e911 not working over voip, but autos kill 30,000+/year and we still
use them.
Technically, I don't see how you can track IP address location very
easily. I don't look forward to a government mandated system that I need
to feed info into.
We still have a landline at our house, but never use it. I would cut that
$35/month if things got tight. Compared to the six cell phones we have
for ~$125/month that we actually use the landline is a very value.

Last I heard, a voip call was required to have e911. Like to know how
they are going to pull their roaming wifi voip off without saying, it's
cell phone service even though it's wifi voip.
Very serious issue here.
