The telephone companies (I'm looking at YOU Verizon!) are bringing this situation onto the community. I can see the FCC NPRM now: "What percentage of E911 terminations is being serviced over VoIP with carrier-based network switching, or third-party network switching, interfaced to the PSTN? "How many emergency service areas terminate E911 VoIP into an on-premises device like a Cisco voice router with outward-facing T1/E1 cards, or even outward-facing DS0 ports?" This is just the flip side of the problem with VoIP on the consumer side, not being able to easily associated a location with a 911 call without significant help from the calling device. Think cell phones on the one hand, and the ubiquitous Cisco VoIP desk set on the other. (Personal note: I have two copper-based DS0 lines here at my home office. And I'll keep them until Nevada Bell pries them out of my cold, dead hands. Now, those lines do terminate at a neighborhood SONET ring fiber terminal with a battery, but it's not my worry. Fax works fine -- which you can't say for VoIP connections.) On 12/28/18 2:21 PM, Patrick Boyle via NANOG wrote:

The latest word from C-link as of 1:46PM mountain is that all 911 services are restored where they are the provider. I'm not 100% sure if that's system-wide, or just my area in the northwest, however.

If so, the post-mortem analysis is not useful only for CenturyLink customers but for everyone on the west coast.
