For resellers that want to market to Canada, is VOIPo expecting any E911 support ability during or after Beta? Does your current E911 solution have the ability to cover Canada if you chose to include it?

I've been Googling info about Canadian E911 and have looked at a few links.

It certainly seems like VOIPo would have to support E911 in Canada before Resllers can market to our neighbors in the north. I plan to experiment with a Beta account at my brothers place in Windsor, Ontario. It obviously cannot lead to a full marketing strategy just now. I bet there would be interested Resellers local to Canada.

I see voip.ms has E911 Reseller Beta for USA and Canada.

I know there were comments about branching into Canada being way off, but it sure feels like a big piece missing from the VoIP puzzle.

I've heard that the current E911 VOIPo has might work in Canada.
That would be great news!

Further, I see Canadian provinces on E911 listed after the USA states.
This is true for Reseller accounts and VOIPo accounts.

So if you take your VOIPo device to the Great White North (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot70G4wSQi0) for a while, it looks like you are covered! :)

(I may have snowbird clientele when things graduate from beta! :))
