I would agree on that, my voip setup at my house took several faxes back and forth to the provider to get it working right. Then it took a week for the 911 dispatch center to actually see my address as correct when I placed test calls. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Jackson [mailto:jerj@coplanar.net] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 7:22 AM To: Mike Lyon Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: VoIP E911 - was: Telecom Collapse? With one provider in Canada at least, the E911 address to phone number registration is a large bureaucratic manual process, likely involving fax machines. Meanwhile, the ILEC presumably has an address in a database for the loop... So, I wonder about more direct access to PSAPs by CLEC, anywhere from dark fibre to database API?

That makes two of us...
Anyways, for residential VOIP, where are we these days with E911? Are providers like Vonage and such providing reliable E911 when people call 911? That is one of the major problems I see with the residential realm going with VOIP offerings...
