As an offshore provider, mainly to the region but also have sold to US based clients, I can't see how the FCC would be able to stop me selling services to Americans without 911 services. I have no way to know where they live and move to and no status to interface to any existing E911 system. I can use a DNS entry for my termination and move it between companies and servers as I want. As a foreign internet services company, as long as the customer knows they are buying from a non-US company, how would they regulate me? Since I have no Bricks and Mortar installation in the US and no license to operate, there's not much there to regulate. In fact, by using REINVITE, I could terminate offshore then reinvite to a US based server. The worst they could do is tell the server company to shut me down, but with DNS, that would be a minor problem. I am not trying to get around regulation, but to illustrate how impossible it is to regulate any packet based service.
