VoIP E911 - was: Telecom Collapse?

Thu Dec 4 14:22:18 UTC 2008

With one provider in Canada at least, the E911 address to phone number
registration is a large bureaucratic manual process, likely involving
fax machines.  

Meanwhile, the ILEC presumably has an address in a database for the
loop...

So, I wonder about more direct access to PSAPs by CLEC, anywhere from
dark fibre to database API?
