As much as I don't want to pass the buck.. this is their problem.  It
is the responsiblity of the end-user to update their address.  If they
do not update it when they move it is their problem, not ours.

If they put in a fake address and dial 911 that is their problem.  
Read the FCC document... the address is the customer's responsiblity. 
 I've also talked to the FCC and they have confirmed that it is the
responsiblity of the customer to update their address.. if they put
bogus information in that's their problem.

I understand your concerns with nomadic 911 and VoIP, however as I
said, the FCC puts the responsiblity of updating address information
on the customer.. not the provider.
