I saw this a few days ago and was looking for more on it, but nothing beyond what I found on the topic seems to compare to an excellently penned article by Voxilla’s Carolyn Schulk on the topic of E911. There are some gems to be found in her story including the only revelation I … Read more
When I read that companies are participating at events like this it tells me one thing.
