And who says that a location needs to have only a single phone number. Many VoIP providers will sell you extra vanity numbers anywhere in the USA or a number of other countries: http://www.telphin.com/numbers.php http://sipphone.com/virtual/ These are redirected to your phone in the same way that a personal 800 number gets redirected. A telephone number is rather more like a domain name than an IP address. So if the E-911 VoIP service requires that you have a base phone number that is within your E-911 region that doesn't seem like a problem to me since you can have any number of virtual phone numbers in addition to the base number. --Michael Dillon
