    Most states require phone companies to maintain dial tone for 911 on any line connected to them.

    It's good that most states have such a law. It will help when the backhoe operator hits a gas line right after he cut through the telephone line. While the flames are shooting twenty feet high I will not worry as the mystical powers of the law keeps 911 working.
