The basic principle of the program is that everyone should have access to emergency services like 911.

PURE BOSH!!

The basic principle of the program is that all the producers should give all their money to the slackers.

‘The basic principle of the program..”

Its “possibly” a “subsidy” to ATT, verizon,Sprint etc....a certain amount of that might return to a certain person’s campaign financing operation this fall...

just another good example of corporate fascism...

Exactly. They want 911? Get them a 'reverse pager' that dials a single number and gives a location...or one of those alert necklaces that medical patients who are confined to their homes use.

Anything else is simply fertile ground for misuse.

Phones that can be charged - one that no longer have contracts and can't be used to make phone calls - can still reach 911... So you're right, it's pure Bosh... (if you have an old cell phone it can be donated it to a local abused women's center for 911 calls - they can use them)

Well, here in Japan.. even if my mobile is disconnected, the 911 (119) service still works... maybe they should do the same back in the states... Then they couldn’t use that excuse ;))

Yep, utter garbage claim there - the FCC has made unfettered access to 911 over wireless providers a requirement since December of 1997, RE CC Docket No. 94-102 - http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/1997/fcc97402.txt

 

Whether you are a subscriber to a wireless carrier service or not, if a cell phone can power up, you can get 911.
