BTW - small providers can use either  911enabled  or DASH 911, The setup and monthly costs are pretty reasonable and the setup is easy.

Marketing using FUD always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's like the 
people who capitalised on the fear of the Y2K bug to sell uneducated 
people exceptionally expensive and unnecessary 'survival kits.'
    
      
Very similar.  I bet there are many uneducated voip providers out there just 
itching to spend money just so they can say they spent money on some kind of 911 
assistance.

  
    
Yes, it's capitalism. But not all capitalism is savoury -- even to all 
capitalists.

That said, I don't think Trevor's necessarily harming his reputation or 
anything by doing the equivalent of showing a picture of a robbery and 
shouting "vigilance!"  However, you can't expect that sort of marketing 
tactic to sit well with everyone. It's been proven time and time again 
that, while it's quite easy to sell things that way, it never makes 
people feel good about the purchase.
    
      
I agree the method in which it was marketed may not have been...all that 
pleasant and probably won't be effective, I just don't think Trevor was due the 
personal attack he received.


  
    
Eh. It's the Internet. My opinion is, if you can't weather a few 
personal attacks, you should stay offline. They abound.

Is it deserving? Probably not. Will it happen time and time again? Of 
course.
