A more correct way to look at E911 in telephony is that it is a service that is part of telephone network access service - after all, if you get a data line or a fax line you get E911. Then, analogously E911 must be part of Internet access service and not an application. I strongly maintain that even in PSTN voice is an application!

VoIP 911 is a continuing challenge and one of the biggest issues, as I wrote on Sunday, is 'who pays'. [see: http://mhgoldberg.com/blog/2006/05/who-pays.html] Emergency service bureaus are notoriously underfunded for capital improvements... why is it that governments can't distinguish between capital and expense dollars for budgeting?
