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.
For those a little more advanced and maybe concerned about them shutdown
down an IP or server.. It's all about BGP.. Get a couple providers to
announce your IP block and I'm sure that'll keep them wondering why you
don't go down. Add in some OSPF and you could maybe even increase the
performance of your network. If anyone is interested in how to pull
this off feel free to send me an email off list.
Cheers,
C.
