But it's trivial for any VoIP system to add a DID to a device. Therefore would the FCC or a lawyer in a civil suit argue that there was no technological impediment to you providing proper e911 service? The FCC says that customers can't opt out of 911 service, would they also claim that they can't opt out of a DID and address service for remote phones?
It is like hell. DID's are a limited and costly resource. If your PBX is properly engineered for your load with 2 PRIs and 25 DIDs, and you have 4000 extensions, they're going to make you pay the monthly cost of 4000 extra DIDs for this? I don't think so. That would almost certainly be a 'taking'. Cheers -- jra -- Jay R.
