Vonage has fought tooth and nail to *not* be a regulated entity.It's too early in the technology life-cycle for them to be treated that way. I mean, you can get a phone number anywhere the service provider has a pop, and if you want to feed that into existing 911 service systems you've got a lot of mapping issues to deal with, probably to the point where it's not economically feasiblePacket8 offers E-911 on their VoIP product right now, for a $1.50/mo surcharge which is not out of line with the POTS E-911 charge. You have to tell them where you live, and your phone number has to be local to your location.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for proving my point. Regulating as-is behavior is not feasible, ergo regulation means loss of features or overhauled network(s), which is a bit unreasonable given where we are in the lifecycle. -- Eric A.
