considering the medium in described in the article was produced by packing atoms in a super cooled envirement creates a new medium of matter. Could it not be argued that the black hole itself creates another unkown medium or mediums at certain distance (such as the event horizon itself)? The scenarios do seem somehwat comparable I think.
The extreme gravity of the black hole pulls in gasses and other matter wich at some point could combine under the pressure to create a medium simular to that of the experiment.
Different combinations of particles sucked in as well as differnt suround temperatures could very well cause this medium to be slightly different from black hole to black hole... theoretically slowing light to different speeds at varyng distances from the black hole untill it reaches a point of density actually capable of if not stopping it then slowing it beyond our perception.

It should be noted that the old 911 systems are gone and as far as I know there has been no subsidation of funds to build the E911 system.
first off phone co's cannot even monitor (never mind block)what kind of data is transmitted over data connections using their network...for instance in the case of isdn. a typican isdn connection consists of 3 channels a d-channel used for signalling data such as play dial tone or connect to npa-nnx-xxxx(basically phone co stuff)and 2 B-channels wich is what the data is actually tranismitted on between the user and the isp..telco's only have access to the D-channel to gather the information to set up the phone call they cannot monitor the B-channnels and therefor have no access to the data being transmitted to or from an isp

Could that point not be the event horizon itself?
