Wow, 6 post and no nothing to be found, when will the/. Editors learn to set up mirrors before posting.
I wanted to see Bender's shiney metal ass (I'm told it's made of candy!).
Is the music industry so inept it is incapable of reinventing itself? Wasn't the US of A once known for innovation and leadership? Ya know, bleeding edge ideas and new markets.

Oh where oh where has my inspiration gone!

But seriously, why can't those knuckleheads get it through their tiny narrow focus heads that in order to survive in business you must evolve or die!
I don't know if this would work, but you may want to look at http://wilddivine.com/. It works on Bio feedback (no joystick), maybe they can help you out.
I had no idea, I am involed in the EMS industry, which is why I posted this. But I have never heard of Packet8 before. Maybe in time their service model will be followed by others. Thanks for the tip.
VoIP (and similar technologies) does not provide any address information when you call 9-1-1 (I know neither do PBX's, but most people do not have one of those in their houses). That is a really big issue if someone reports his or her address wrong to the 9-1-1 Dispatcher (it happens all of the time, all over the country - I call this the grey side of innovation).
Deregulation certainly has its pluses, but what are they worth if you or someone you know doesn't get they help they need? There is a public perception that 9-1-1 will come to your aid if you call them, many people were taught this as children.
If these VoIP companies choose not to address this issue, then where does that leave the whole EMS system? How can they assist the public if they do not know where they are calling form?
Just some thoughts.
