Cellphone Carriers Are Fighting a Plan to Make It Easier to Locate 911 Callers

The nation's biggest cellphone carriers -- including Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint -- are opposing a government proposal that aims to save lives by making it easier for emergency responders to locate 911 callers.

The companies say they lack the technology to implement the plan -- which would require them to quickly find a way to deliver more accurate location information -- and they're working on a better, long-term solution.
