Or you're a tourist in need of medical services and don't know where you are or are kid calling for help for a myriad of reasons - lost, kidnapped, mom or dad is hurt etc?

I see more value in the offering than consipiracy myself.
yeap. strangely enough i read a very recent news article saying that it was easier for EMS to track your location through a landline rather than cellphone. i think it had something to do with coordinates. darn, wish i could find that again...
