Quoting Alex Balashov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: FCC / CRTC or not, I think the reality is voip and cellular has just made a mess of the 911 system, and trying to make 911 fit all situations is just not possible. If you can't speak and tell the operator your actual address, essentially you are SOL, you also have to take it on faith you get connected to the right 911 operations center - how many cities have "main st" for example and would assume you are local if that is all you could tell them.
Right now I wouldn't dream of a purely voip system for just that reason, always at least one real line for emergencies. > Mike Trest - On Travel wrote: >> At 01:17 PM 4/22/2008, you wrote: >>> My question would be - is this actually compliant with the FCC E911 >>> regulations applicable to VoIP providers? >> >> IMHO and EXPERIENCE before FCC, this arrangement is NOT compliant >> >> Reason: multiple subscribers using the same number >> neither number nor name nor location can be >> tied to a specific subscriber at the time of use. >> >> You will need waivers on file from each client that acknowledges >> the E911 service is verbal contact only and will not have a >> fixed location or subscriber name associated with the number that >> is seen by the E911 service provider. > > But if you do get those waivers, it is compliant in principle, on that > basis, right? > > -- > Alex Balashov > Evariste Systems > Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ > Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 > Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 > Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599 > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > Jon Pounder _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ Inline Internet Systems Inc.
