Prepare for the inevitable.

The inevitable: Cellular Phone emergency call handling in Germany Well its 110 not 911, but tabernak its just the same nonsense. Aerea "Deathvalley" between Heppenheim (Hessen) and Laudenbach (Baden-Wuertemberg). The two towns are some 5 KM, less than 3 miles apart. Heppenheims sun does not shine over "Deathvalley" there is no radio contact. Laudenbach is not in charge of "Deathvalley". The officer told me to disconnect and dial again. On my hamradio I got help finally - from a french radioamateuer some 200 km away. So I guess it would be a good idea to have all european emergency calls directed to AFRINIC. Directing all American emergency calls to Australia makes sense. Emergencies will happen when erverybody is asleep. That is when sun shines over Australia. I think they are good at handling things like that. If only they would speak french :) Regards, Peter Dambier -- Peter und Karin Dambier Graeffstrasse 14 D-64646 Heppenheim +49-6252-671788 (Telekom) +49-6252-599091 (O2 Genion) +1-360-226-6583-9738 (INAIC) peter@peter-dambier.de www.peter-dambier.de iason.site.voila.fr
