Say Goodbye to Landlines

Just saw this interesting report that drives home the need for E911 fees on cell phones. New federal figured indicate that nearly 3 in 10 households don't have a landline compared to 1 in 10 a year ago. I am flabbergasted that there are some states that still don't charge E911 fees on cell phones in the face of shrinking revenue due to the reduction in the number of land lines.

But it also reiterates that traditional Reverse 9-1-1-type mass emergency notification used to send alerts to landlines is an exercise in futility. New technology that can send notifications to cell phones and other communication devices is needed.
