How are you doing your E911 updates?   We are trying to do it through
911etc but they are saying they can only help us with CLECs connected
with Intrado, and they can't update addresses for people who brought
Verizon owned numbers into our system through the CLEC with which we
work.    It's like pulling teeth to get anything out of Verizon.....
