I know e911 has been discussed on ths list before, but I just read
this and it got me thinking that if you have a Wholesale VoIP carrier
- wouldn't they have to pass e911 on to you as a VoIP provider to, in
turn, pass on to your end-users? Of course there would be a fee -
just wondering if this is how the "start-ups" will be able to reach a
deadline on this if it passes. Especially since it seems you have to
be a CLEC to interface with the PASP database from the threads I have
been reading.
Also, how in the world will this work with hosted IP-PBX solutions
where the customer may have their employees scattered around the
country working from their homes? Since all their outbound calls
share the same callerID which may not even be in the local area that
they are physically located in, how will the call get routed to the
proper PASP (and better yet - how will the PASP know which employee
called them)?
