Sadly, the 9-1-1 system was perfected just about the time cell phones came along and rendered it obsolete. Emergency dispatchers can pinpoint calls from landlines and get rescue equipment rolling immediately. But wireless calls? Don’t bet your life on it.
The Federal Communications Commission estimates that more than 10,000 wireless callers die each year because dispatchers can’t determine their exact location…
How efficient is that?

Landlines are cheaper than cell phones, so I don’t think there will be many of them left in the future — the industry won’t allow it.
