[Asterisk-biz] Press Release: StanaPhone is No Longer an Interconnected VoIP Provider?

[Chris Mason (Lists)]

As an offshore provider, mainly to the region but also have sold to US 
based clients, I can't see how the FCC would be able to stop me selling 
services to Americans without 911 services. I have no way to know where 
they live and move to and no status to interface to any existing E911 
system. I can use a DNS entry  for my termination and move it between 
companies and servers as I want. As a foreign internet services company, 
as long as the customer knows they are buying from a non-US company, how 
would they regulate me? Since I have no Bricks and Mortar installation 
in the US and no license to operate, there's not much there to regulate. 
In fact, by using REINVITE, I could terminate offshore then reinvite to 
a US based server.
The worst they could do is tell the server company to shut me down, but 
with DNS, that would be a minor problem.
I am not trying to get around regulation, but to illustrate how 
impossible it is to regulate any packet based service.
