Re: e911 Correct. The Bells have been very obstructive in the efforts of those VoIP carriers that have sought to connect to the existing 9-1-1 platforms.
Additionally, knowing where the caller is is not trivial. For a fixed home location, the user has to enter his location, which works until he moves. If, on the other hand, the user likes VoIP because the service and number can follow him on the road, the location question becomes a nightmare.
Even after you have a location, you may have to convert it to a street address if it's a lat/lon, and then you have to figure out where the call should go for a given address.
