E911 Still Struggling After 10 Years

Wayne Rash writes on eWeek:

There's a 16 percent chance your wireless 911 call won't go through. And if it does go through, there's one chance in eight that the 911 center will know where you are.

It gets worse. According to a study released Dec. 4 by Consumer Reports, a magazine published by Consumers Union, your chances are nearly as bad if you're using a VOIP (voice over IP) phone.
