I know I shouldn't feed a troll,
but.......
Personally, I think that it is completely
reasonable for people offering VOIP to PSTN termination services to pay for E911
when they offer such termination services to customers as primary telephone
lines. I know taxes are unpopular with some people, but our
emergency response infrastructure needs to be supported somehow.
Now, you might have a point if you pointed out that
you may have too many tax juristictions involved to make it work. But this
is a matter of implimentation, not a matter of the concept. Maybe we need
some reform in how this is handled to accomodate VOIP but saying that those who
provide gateway services to the PSTN are not responsible for helping support our
emergency services on the PSTN is simply crazy. We are not talking
about "VOIP" here per se, but rather the connectivity to and from the
PSTN.
Secondly, I assume that you want fair
competition. In that case, you can either get rid of E911 service entirely
or force non-traditional telecoms to comply.
