What local phone number? If I'm making my call through a cable
connection, or wifi, or other wireless network what local phone number
would be relevant?

There is zero connect between IP activity on a DSL line, and the phone
number of that DSL line.

With regards to VOIP 911 service, the solution was simple: the VOIP
subscriber has to fill out their physical address on signup, and are
charged with keeping that information current.
