911 Bad for Cell Phones

This is a very good and actually pretty important article.

This truly hit home for me with the murder trial I recently served on the jury for, where the 911 call was made from a cell phone. I can't tell you how friggin long it took the operator to take down the info for where they were located instead of just being able to route it based on the land line. In comparison, there was recently a fire at my house, and when we called 911 from my landline, the firefighters showed up in something like five minutes.
