I'm just trying to clarify this, according to note 1 on that paper:

====
1 ``Interconnected VoIP service'' means an interconnected voice over
Internet Protocol service that: (1) enables real-time, two-way voice
communications; (2) requires a broadband connection from the user's
location; (3) requires Internet protocol-compatible customer premises
equipment (CPE); and (4) permits users generally to receive calls that
originate on the public switched telephone network and to terminate calls
to the public switched telephone network.  See 47 C.F.R. � 9.3.
=====
Does that mean:
1. That if I allow only outbound, I'm not required to comply? (number 4 above)
2. That if I setup the customer, as a remote node on my hosted
asterisk server for inbound and outbound of just their business phone,
but have it setup that 911 when dialed from the phone should use a
backup proxy that is local and doesnt require a broadband connection
(it's using the LAN), that I'm not required to comply? (number 2
above), the setup in mind is where I use a polycom phone with a Sipura
SPA 3000, configured that when 911 is dialed it  uses the Sipura and
not Asterisk.
3. If the answer to 2 is that yes I have to comply, then why when
installing a lagecy pbx (like avaya) that doesn't have battery backup
I'm not required to mail stickers? is that because I don't use the
name VoIP? and the media hasn't caught up to this one (I'm sure it
happended before)?

Well thats it for now, I'm sure I have more questions :)
