Core problems
PSTN: approximate routing often works
same switch
based on cell tower
based on caller number
PSTN: relatively few, regionally-limited telecom providers (carriers)
IP: carrier = bobs-bakery.com
IP: no such approximations (usually)
application layer (e.g., SIP) has no clue as to location
L1—L3 may know about location (at least approximately), but don’t know about emergency calls
