<Nearly two-thirds of all the 911 calls from wireless phones in California, and even higher proportions elsewhere in the country, involve people pushing emergency buttons on their cell phone keypads without knowing it, authorities say.>

I thought people dial 911 and hang up to clear a channel for them to then make the call they wanted to make but couldn't because the network was too busy.

Therefore, introduce WackyWireless and the problem will go away because people will ALWAYS be able to get through.
