I think the need for someone being able to call 911 from their VoIP outweighs your right to claim that they should be disconnected from the Internet.

I believe the FCC requires even deactivated phones to be able to reach 911. Can't confirm, fcc.gov is down.

Authoritatively *NOT* true for hard-wire landlines in the U.S. Cellular may, and I believe _is_, be a different story.
