[Asterisk-biz] dialing a remote 911 number

[Michael Young]

I wasn't aware that any I-2 centers were up yet -- wish they were
everywhere already. I read in a trade rag that Verizon charged Vonage
$10 Million to interconnect to E-911 in Manhattan, I wonder if that was
via IP or with traditional trunks?

Actually, there is. Manhattan is I-2 enabled. That's not the case for
many
other PSAPs, but eventually, all PSAPs will have a 10-digit number
answered by same emergency responders as their MF selective router
circuits.
