Early Cell Systems Had This Problem Covered

My first cell phone, actually a "Bag Phone" in 1991 had provision to allow the service provider to set several different priorities levels in its programing. This was a requirement by the FCC. This was supposed to interact with the cell tower computer system to kick off low priority users when the cell tower was nearing its max number of users.

There was a form doctors, EMP's Police, Fire Fighters etc. could submit to the cell company to have their cell phone priority set according to FCC guidelines.

I had not thought about this for years, I wonder why this obviously needed feature/requirement was dropped??
