Vonage has finally figured it out. When they fought the regulators and won, they often won for all of us. Maybe they actually want the regulators to impose some requirements that will help eliminate some of the smaller voip providers/innovators.

We really need to convince the regulators that mandatory 911 support for voip is senseless. Wireless 911 is based on the tower you are using at the time, not the wireless company you have an account with. Real 911 support for voip would place a burden on the ISP to provide IP to physical address mapping. Even worse, the voip provider might have to refuse device registration when such mapping is not available in order to comply with the regulations. You take your ata or softphone to a hotel whose ISP does not provide the mapping and you can't make calls. That dog won't hunt.
