Stop Raiding E 9-1-1 Funds

Earlier this week, I did an interview with Urgent Communications, a leading public safety communications publication, about the recent alarming trend of state and local governments raiding E 9-1-1 funds to make up for budget shortfalls. The two articles below call attention to the work the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) is doing, along with CTIA, on behalf of wireless consumers to raise awareness about this important issue.
