a . What are some o the benefits of this tracking technology

Since the E911 is the enhanced version of 911 , it really contributes to the safety o the people . Typically when troubles or emergency occur we call a person or agency (for the case of fire : Fire Department ) who can help us . Although we can get the same results , calling 911 gives us more convenience

By just memorizing only three numbers , safety among people increases due to the fact that all types of emergency will be responded by dialing only one hotline

number . Much more with the E911 since you can avail the emergency services anywhere you are

One thing more significant to this enhancement is that this could help reduce crime rate . How ? Criminals will hesitate to commit crimes knowing that anytime at one call the authorities will be at there

b . What are some of the significant drawbacks

Although E911 is an additional burden when it comes to payment or billing , it offers a very significant role when it comes to peace and . Even though phone users pay an additional charge or this service users still don 't have to worry for the charge only cost less than a dollar . An additional safety service that cost only a fraction of a penny is a great significant

This is also useful when a person is lost and don 't know the address or location for he still be located due to the tracking technology

a . Should the FCC allow Commercial Vendors to access Tracking Technology ? Explain why or why not

This tracking technology should only be exclusive for its purpose : to give help during emergency . Ti should not be accessed by the Commercial Vendors . There are two reasons for the disagreement privacy and safety

Everybody needs to have privacy . If the commercial vendors will have access anytime then they can also sell product anytime anywhere . We can 't deny that many are irritated with an unexpected call only selling their products . One reason is the waste of time talking to your phone only talking about the products being sold . How much more burden if somebody will go to your location dealing the same thing

Another thing is the safety . Many criminals can access this technology even if it will only be exclusively accessed by the FCC . For VIPs this technology is an additional threat , because we can 't deny that there are criminals who shed under the uniform of the authorities

Thus it is unnecessary , inappropriate , and unsafely if the FCC will allow this Tracking Technology to be accessed by the Commercial Vendors
