text-to-911 obsolete

a) Link is bad

b) SMS just celebrate 20th birthday, so it is ANCIENT technology. So maybe it could be OK for legacy phones, but we do have more and more smartphones.

c) An idea of integrated app would be better, that would link to 911 center, allow live positioning, upload media, etc

Why Super-Fast Internet Connections Are Disappointing

Lets deploy gig service at my house and my friends houses and see how disappointed we are. :|

I know most of the internet work just fine with a only 1 meg download speeds.
Some of us like to move some serious data around. ESP Sending that data.
With current home connections in the US upload is a joke.
