	Enhanced 911 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enhanced 911 or E911 service is a North American telephone network (NANP) feature that automatically associates the physical address with the calling party's telephone number.
		The location information provided is normally integrated into emergency dispatch center's computer-assisted dispatch or CAD system, to provide the dispatcher with an on screen street map that highlights the caller's position and the nearest available emergency responders.
		Voice over IP calls also have issues with E911, and some calls are not routed to 911 at all.

	about us / public affairs / e911 - TELUS Mobility
		Enhanced 911, or E911, is a new service that allows emergency operators to better assist people calling 911 from their wireless phones.
		Before the upgrade of emergency networks to E911, no phone number or location information for wireless callers was available to operators, making it impossible for them to re-dial a caller in case of a disconnection.
		E911 is not yet available in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, PEI, the Greater Halifax area of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and in some rural areas of Ontario and Quebec due to limitations with landline network capabilities.

		In Phase I, the FCC required wireless carriers to be able to report the telephone number of a wireless 911 caller and the location of the antenna that received the wireless 911 call by April 1, 1998 or within six months of a request by a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
		Steve Marzolf, E911 coordinator for the Commonwealth of Virginia, said the vast majority of counties in his state have deployed Phase II E911 technology, and Sprint has been a big part of the reason.
		E911 has become such a high-profile public safety issue that presidential candidates are taking notice.

		Congress wants states to certify that E911 fees are not being diverted in order to qualify for the federal matching grants, which would cover no more than 50 percent of the cost.

		Because no law requires the E911 tax to be filed monthly, the telecommunications carrier may qualify to report its Combined Excise Tax Return on a quarterly or annual reporting frequency.
		Deadlines for remitting the state E911 taxes to the Department of Revenue are the same as the deadlines for remitting sales taxes, BandO taxes, and other excise taxes.

		The Phase II E911 rules require wireless carriers, within six months of a valid request by a PSAP, to begin providing more precise location information to emergency dispatchers, specifically, the latitude and longitude of the caller.
		In addition, the January 2004 Technical Advisory Committee meeting will be devoted to wireless E911 in an effort to shape the issues to be studied by the NRIC.

		It's astonishing that with that report in hand (and with knowledge of what VoIP service providers were working on themselves [VON Coalition 2005 white paper pdf]) an independent agency would demand that E911 be implemented by "interconnected VoIP" services in 120 days.
		As far as I can tell, there hasn't been time for this facilitation, information exchange, and consensus development to happen, and no one is telling the local telephone companies to charge reasonable rates or work more efficiently.
