re: #45 Racer X

But halfway seriously: was there a public bid offering on this, or how did they come to determine the price of the service?

And why shouldn’t there be some lively competition: perhaps a 911 “happy hour” for calls between 5-9pm on a Friday or on or around April 15th.

Or prizes for the 1oth caller after a certain point in time or the one with the funniest voice or most amusing background noises…
