Subject: E911 with no Opt Out?


According to the latest FCC release



“Begin maintaining a “Registered Location” for every customer – no  
opt-out allowed –that may be modified by consumers by multiple means,  
including use of the telephone;“



I wonder what this means. Also what does it mean to attempt to impose  
E911 on Skype-Out. All of this assumes there is a physical device  
called a “telephone”. It’s as if we attempted to regulate email by  
requiring stickers on “e-mail-boxes”.



Perhaps it’s like the attempts to pass laws requiring having someone  
walk along with every automobile warning horses to get out of the way.
