[VoIP] Office code reservation was Number portability in CNET

[Lee Spenadel]

Why not map 411 through to Goog411?  I have my switch configured for that
service and would be happy to host it for the group.  I would merely forward
it out my own 411 configuration.

I already have one thought, which echoes one of Greg's. The X11 codes should

not be assignable as office codes at all. E.G. the number 411-1111 should 
not be valid. However, there should be the ability for someone to provide a 
service on a particular X11 code, E.G. 411 directory assistance service. 
Even this should not be possible for 911, which is a very important 
real-world service when it's needed. If anything at all is put on the 911 
code, it should be a 911 failure announcement, which, in my opinion, should 
indicate the following things:
The phone line is not properly configured to provide 911 service.
If this is an emergency, the caller should dial 911 from a different 
telephone line. I know that's not very helpful, but a generic message can't 
get much more specific.
If the caller is conducting a test of their implementation of 911 service, 
the test has failed, and they should fix it.
This message would be useful for times when someone dials 911 on a system 
which has been mistakenly configured to route 911 as a CNET call.
