A well-written piece describing the dilemma of E911 emergency calls from VoIP phones and providers. It seems the problem will be resolved, but there's the question of who pays for the solution. E911 services are normally funded by state and local agencies that surcharge basic telephone services to customers served by the local telcos.
Location-specific E911 for wireless services presents a different set of technical issues, but is being addressed at the national level via FCC rulemaking.
