The requirement is there but has yet to be proven by law, or

I can either work to make it compliant according to the established
legal history, sell the customers to another voip provider or shut it
down.
Make sure you have help from legal counsel as ventures that only appear
to be separate can easily be treated as one legally.
FWIW, there is a requirement for cell companies for several years to
provide location information to e911 centers. Guess what, a majority
of the cellular carriers can't or don't provide that location
information. They have gotten exemptions over and over. That didn't
stop them from selling service and building out markets. This is the
same sort of situation. The public wants VOIP, and they are going to
get it. The 911 details will get worked out over time and a few
court cases.
They have indeed gotten exceptions, but the real question is have you?
Until you get an exception you are in an exceedingly risky situation.
