Is anyone doing this yet? The ability to detect the location of a
phone and automatically update the 911 address? Yes, I realize it's
a difficult if not impossible thing, yet thought I'd ask since a
customer asked me.
The Skype for Business system does this where I work. It uses the
location of the nearest AP or the location recorded for the jack you're
using if you're wired. If neither are available, the SfB application
asks the user to enter their location.
The analog phones we're switching from only update when an order is
processed, but then customers generally have to put in a request for us
to do a MAC order. The local PSAP will report to us if they get a 911
call with incorrect name or location info.
It's not fool proof and there is plenty of room for errors, but it's not
too bad, either.

The best approach I saw was in a research demo at cluecon:

We're still not there in most aspects because either (a) you need to
constantly enter and verify information or (b) information will not be
up to date.
