The FCC has proposed stronger rules for location accuracy when emergency calls are placed from a wireless device. Currently, a call from a mobile phone to 911 makes it much more difficult to locate the caller. In some cases as many as 9 out of 10 calls placed from cell phones cannot be accurately located. Passing these requirements could save as many as 10,000 lives per year.
