Not all VoIP providers provide service as defined in John's reference, therefore may not be required to provide E911 service.
So, one must define "provider" first. I'm aware of several VoIP "providers" that don't provide E911 service. For these cases there are companies that provide E911 service for callers routed to them. -Antony. -----Original Message----- From: John Lange [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 4:30 PM To: Dave Lahn Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] 911 and VoIP ?Yes there is a requirement to provide 911 service for VOIP and not just any 911 service will do. You must ensure that the calls to 911 are routed correctly. Our association has a web page which contains a listing of important CRTC VOIP regulations: http://www.cavp.ca/content/view/108/45/ If you are aware of any providers who are not providing 911 service please report them to our association, or directly the the CRTC if you prefer.
