[Ecrit] some observations from yesterday wg meeting

[James Seng <james at seng.cc>]

I am not a regular on this list so whatever I said here is based on  
what I see at yesterday wg meeting. Pardon me if these already been  
discussed.
1. There are a lot of talks about how caller can authenticate the  
emergency response centers (singapore term for what WG's called PSAP)  
but not much talks about how PSAP is going to authenticate the callers.

Considering how many prank calls typical PSAP gets, I wont be  
surprised if their priority is to identify the caller first and less  
about your house on fire.

No I am serious. That's my experience when dealing with them on E911  
when we are working on our IP Telephony framework.

2. Any bet how long it will take PSAP to install a SIP server into  
their system? Especially a system which will allow anyone from  
anywhere in the world to call them anonymously?

So while it is important for the caller to be able to identify his  
nearest PSAP, it is equally important for PSAP to be able to (a)  
identify the caller and (b) establish that the caller is within the  
zone they are serving.
