[Asterisk-biz] FW: 911 Legislation

Yes, but I have been paying fees for years to pay for the system that
allows them to find me via tower triangulation.

It works. 

They can get you within 100 yards easy. 

Some people call it OnStar.

Answer: There is no way to tie a physical address to a mobile device.
The same can be said of VoIP devices. 

That soft-phone on your laptop, or the little ATA you cart along with
you on business trips will usually work no matter where it's plugged
into the net. It is folly to suggest that there is a practical solution
that will make it behave "like a real phone line" until IP ADDRESSES
exist in an ANI-like database.
