Skype and public domain telefones dont know about location, nor will they ever learn. The only place where somebody could catch a 911 call is at a sip server.
Come on, let's be a bit more creative. Location signalling over IP would be technically feasible. Your ISP does in fact know where your connection ends. Even it's just a tunnel, we eventually get down to layer 1 and bingo, the information is there. Of course, you don't get the necessary infrastructure for free, but you could use it for other services, too (like making identity theft a bit harder). There are privacy implications as well. But I'm not sure if an enticement to develop technical solutions is necessarily a bad thing.
