Actually getting a house number assigned is easy and you can even get an address for a vacant lot without a permit. You just need to call the county and request one. The problem with Verizon is that they were using the USPS database to validate the addresses and since they don't deliver mail here, we aren't in the USPS database. To remedy the problem they took the USPS validation step out of their signup process. The "Home Fusion" supposedly is eventually going to include an option for a land-line style phone hooked up to it and as such the unit does have a phone number. When they roll that out the actual location is needed for the 911 service.
