[cisco-voip] mobile devices and 911

[Matthew Saskin]

Depends on (your lawyers | laws in your city/state/country | etc.).  I know
that for most of my clients, they have received the OK from their risk
and/or legal organizations that it's OK to block emergency services calls
provided you identify to the user that they are blocked (eg; yellow "this
phone cannot call 911" sticker attached to take-home IP phones for remote
workers)
