In fact because of the lame way current providers are doing 911
(hading calls to PSAP administration lines) BroadVoice does not
offer 911 at all yet. I would rather NOT offer it and tell users to
have a way to call 911 via CELL or PSTN then to have them count on
me getting them to a PSAP with the current options.

I'd like extend a public "thank you" for that.  It's a real shame more
residential providers don't follow suit, given the brokenness (and
false sense of security) of their existing implementations.
