Embed GPS chips in black box VOIP boxes and configure them to send location information when 911 is dialed
The problem with this is that GPS location will not provide the physical address where the phone is being called from. Emergency services (police, fire et all) are still working on getting physical addresses updated nationwide to handle the e911 system. GPS will not work in areas such as apartments, townhomes/condominiums, etc.

Besides, on the lower frequency (900 Mhz) you'll get more range out of your cordless phone :)
