The FCC has stated that these improvements could save approximately 10,000 lives each year.
Oh come on. Thirty years ago we had no consumer GPS and no cell phones. Even 911 was pretty new and only used for real emergencies. I do not believe that 10,000 more people died each year because of that.

I kinda wish that the government DID NOT have a tracking device tethered to me...but maybe that’s just me.

I was 4 wheeling in the San Isabel national forest a couple weeks ago. My Windows phone not only showed the “road” we were on, but the satellite view of the area. It was within 10 feet at all times. I had no idea that the trail had a name, or was on a map.

Just for fun, take a look at your cell phone bill and your land-line phone bill. Now, add up all the taxes you pay on those lines. It’s staggering. In my household I pay about $50 every month in federal and state taxes on just my phone lines!

Does the FCC think they can just mandate tighter location standards and the technology will magically appear on the FCC’s timetable? How arrogant and naive of them.

And these numbers are sure to go up as people continue to pull the plug on their land-line phone service at home. Cell phone quality would have to increase drastically before I would ever consider dropping land-line service. I find it exceedingly difficult to understand anything said on a cell-phone, and hate having to ask people to continually repeat what they last said.
My cell phone is basically an answering machine that I carry with me or keep in my car. It is not even good at that.
