The FCC has given states until 2005 to roll out "E911" services that can trace the location of cell-phone callers. But cash-strapped states have been dipping into the cell-phone surcharges earmarked for E911 purposes to fill other budgetary holes. New York alone has "diverted" $162 million, while spending nothing on E911. The FCC has scheduled hearings on E911 delays nationwide.

Re: 911 Cell-Phone Taxes Not Spent on 911 (Score: 0) by Anonymous on Sunday, April 20 @ 23:35:20 EDT | The State of Texas, trying to figure out the $10 billon lost funds, is taking another $52 million over the next 2 years [next meeting]. Amazing how people get totally lost when the money goes beyond their yearly salary.
One million * 1,000 = one billon
Ten billion = 10,000 million
So our "pocket change" is making no real difference.
