This seems entirely reasonable.  I think the FCC took the middle ground and 
did this correctly given all the choices.   Even in the short time span of 
120 days I suspect there will be quite a few E911 solutions for voip 
providers.  I would be extremely surprised if the main carriers don't just 
bundle it as a value added service.

Plus, the ruling also looks like it leaves some loopholes for certain types 
of wholesale voip providers, or providers that cater to businesses who run 
call centers or pbx systems.  Undoubtedly the FCC will have to clarify and 
expound on the ruling in the future as some companies push the envelope of 
what was intended.
