One of my big concerns with this technology is how will the federal requirement for W911 location be satisfied with these devices?

Since these devices will be located indoors we can't always depend on them acquiring their own GPS information. Same thing with the handset. The norm at that point would be to revert to "Cell Sector" information regitered in the network providers database.

This would seem to be very similar to the problem with VoIP devices and registering with landline 911 based services. Will the end user be responsible for the entry and maintenance of the location information?
