VOIP service providers are now required to provide E911 service to their
customers or they may not sign up additional customers. This is in the US
only. One provider has about 95% of their customers set up for E911 service. I
know that CNN had a couple of articles on it on their website in the Tech
section.

The big stink was the FCC gave everyone 120 days to implement. Next stop will
probably be US District Court in Washington, D.C.
