My take on it (and you should read it for yourself) is that if you can
provide it in a certain geographic area you can advertise and continue
to sell in that area.  

Specifically from
http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Public_Notices/DA-05-2945A1.html:
Although we do not require providers that have not achieved 
full 911 compliance by November 28, 2005, to discontinue the 
provision of interconnected VoIP service to any existing 
customers, we do expect that such providers will discontinue 
marketing VoIP service, and accepting new customers for their 
service, in all areas where they are not transmitting 911 calls 
to the appropriate PSAP in full compliance with the Commission's 
rules.
