Why is This Important? #
It assigns a physical address to your number. E911 allows you to communicate metadata when emergency calls are made for a faster response than would normally occur. In short, e911 ties a physical address to your IP phone numbers, making it possible for Fire / Police/ other Emergency Services teams to be sent to an accurate location. If a phone is physically moved to a new address, that information should be updated immediately.
