Supporters of e911 think that the work going into the system now will prove to be worthwhile because the new services will be able to take advantage of new multimedia capabilities. In the future, callers may have the ability to send video from emergency scenes — picture a cameraphone sending pictures of a fire to dispatchers, or responders sending video instruction on CPR basics to callers. In the meantime, technical obstacles and missed deadlines have interefered with the system’s progress.
