[comp.dcom.telecom] Province-wide 911 in Nova Scotia

djcl@uunet.uu.net> (03/20/90)

I read an item some time ago that Maritime Tel & Tel, which service
the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, plans to introduce a 911 service
that will cover the entire province. Currently, Canadian 911
installations are done on a region-by-region, or even city-by-city
basis.

Any examples of state-wide 911 yet?

I think that California has state-wide 911 (probably with the
exception of a couple of sites in Pinnacles :-) ).  Did you mean 911
coverage state-wide (i.e. I can dial 911 anywhere and get help) or a
central 911 dispatch center that serves an entire state (not very
likely in a large state)?
