Wireless 9-1-1 Statistics

According to the Cellular Telephone Industry Association (CTIA), nearly 46,000 Americans become wireless subscribers every day. It is estimated that of the 150 million calls that were made to 9-1-1 in 2000, 45 million of them were made by wireless telephone users - that's 30 percent. This is a ten-fold increase from nearly 4.3 million wireless 9-1-1 calls just 10 years ago, and the number will more than double to 100 million calls in the next five years. It is anticipated that by 2005, the majority of 9-1-1 calls will be from wireless callers.
