Re: Back to Fees
I can't see how proving 911 would cost them much.. unless of course you have sbc and bellsouth trying to stiffel compatition ( assuming they run/manage it). Who really owns this enhanced 911 system?

| There are significant costs involved because currently some VoIP providers have the barest minimum of connections in a metro area, and in some states this requirement would mean that they would have to connect to every PSAP--literally hundreds of new trunks.
In those states that use 9-1-1 "routers" (which actually are circuit based switches performing a tandem switching function) the connections may be fewer, but your "ownership" question moves to the front burner.
In many cases, those 9-1-1 fees go in large part for paying the ILECs for rental of facilities at pretty steep rates.
