I submit that I don't necessarily want my communications device or my location tracked at all times by the government. My point is not the need for location, but, that it is impractical to reliably implement the traditional 911 model for VOIP. The traditional 911 model depends on being able to make determination of at least a roughly correct 911 service provider based on connection point. (Cell site, telco central office, service location, etc.). None of these are available for many VOIP services. I think that if the focus were on delivering 911 service for fixed-location VOIP systems, it would make much more sense. However, the FCC, so far, does not seem to understand that this distinction is possible or relevant.
How about an anycast address implement(ed|able) by every network provider that would return a zipcode? $ telnet 10.255.255.254 Connected 33709 Disconnected. $ Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
