[cisco-voip] Hosted E911 over SIP

[Rick Gilliam]

Very well said Mike and I for one totally agree with your "Dirty and  just wrong " of 911 traffic over the Net.
Most customer's I have met also say: it just sounds wrong no matter how much $$$ we save. these types of mission critical calls should be forced out over conventional media.

Does anyone use any of those “hosted” E911 services (e.g. 911 Enable, Red Sky, etc.) where you send them the 911 calls over the Internet using SIP?
 
In my mind, sending calls over the Internet feels dirty and wrong, and sending emergency calls that way feels just plain stupid. How do you deal with lack of QoS and having basically no control over availability or capacity? For regular calls, I could understand just living with it (in some applications) - but for 911? Seriously?
 
Is hosted E911 one of those services that looks pretty in a marketing PDF but nobody actually uses in real life?
