[cisco-voip] Hosted E911 over SIP

[Scott Voll]

I'm there too......   But i Know 911 enable does have an on site appliance
so we can do the same as CER.

But where I think the "dirty feeling SIP" does come into place is with lots
of telecommuters.  I know of a very large company that has hundreds if not
thousands of telecommuters that have soft and hard phones at home.  They
(the company) feels that they should provide 911 service to there
telecommuters.  Since each telecommuter does not have a VGW they use a E911
SIP provider to route the call to the correct PSAP.  Now if you don't have
any VGWs in a city that a telecommuter might be in.... I can see it.

But for a normal environment...... I do understand the "dirty" feeling.
