Call centers slow in installing enhanced 911 technology

Half of the emergency 911 centers still will not be able to track cell calls by next year’s deadline for wireless companies to outfit their phones with locator technology, according to a group that represents call center administrators, according to the AP via Review Appeal.

"State and local governments would have to more than double their annual spending to $1.7 billion to meet the deadline, the National Emergency Number Association said in a report Thursday. That is an unlikely prospect given the budget shortfalls facing many local governments".
