John, 

It depends on who operates the device. An IMS mobile operator will support this because the P-CSCF will be in Germany and will recognize 112 as an EC. For the fixed networks, we are not aware of any requirements to support non-IMS nomadic devices operated from the US. It is in principle a nice thing, but we do not have requirements for this.   

More than that, the new German law (March 2009) is more restrictive then the old one. EC from mobile phones without valid SIM-card are no longer allowed and carriers must ensure that they do not route calls originated outside Germany to german PSAPs.   This is because PSAPs have problems to distinguish between real and bogus ECs. The real problem is the PSAPs overload, they just do not have enough people to answer the calls they get. Other than in US and Canada, there is no "112 access fee" in Germany.       

Laura

[JRE] But how does a visiting device from the US, say, discover that the local dial string in Germany is 112?
