Security is also a big issue with trying to use the internet for something like this. Anyone with a little knowledge can hack into it and do whatever.
Who needs to hack? All common VoIP protocols in use are sniffable and playable from 100% free tools like Wireshark. All that's required is a copy of the packets... piece of cake. We do it all the time for troubleshooting in the VoIP telco hardware vendor world.
This whole plan probably also runs afoul of HIPPA regulations for Medical dispatch, once you start sending un-encrypted VoIP to a residential IP from the dispatch center, now that I think a little more about it.
