I could care less about E911. My comments refer to wiretap regulations.
The PBX is open source. Who goes out of business?
And as for certifying services for E911 - BFD, they just have to undergo
the same reliability tests as the standard analog 911. There was a time
when those lines were also unreliable.
I'd say practically, you have no argument. :-)
