This statement may also be an attempt to be exempt for the FCC rules
requiring interconnected VoIP services to offer E911 service. See
http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/9/ . In particular, 9.3
defines an interconnected VoIP provider as "(3) Requires Internet
protocol-compatible customer premises equipment (CPE)." While many
VoIP providers allow use of CPE, they also allow a standard computer
with special software to make and receive calls. This MAY get around
the "requires" portion of this rule, allowing them to offer VoIP
without E911 support. Just a thought, not a legal opinion!
