P.S. I think a solution lies in the general direction of converting the entire world to use 112 for emergency services and having the VoIP services set up an automated system that rings back whenever your phone connects using a different IP address and asks you where you are.
For what it's worth, I believe here in the UK dialing just 99 will also connect you to the emergency services. The rational is that if you are behind a switchboard you have to dial 9 to get an outside line, and in the heat of the moment you might forget to dial four nines. That's definately an advantage that 999 has, taht 911 and 112 don't? Sam
