    But are your calls routed to a national center for your VIOP provider with
    their tracking info, or directly to your local municipal E911 center?

    As far as I recall, the VoIP providers were all doing it to their own call
    centers if they were doing it at all.

    If you're still paying for a T-1, then I assume your savings are all local
    loop and potentially IXC charges?
