I know of at least one company, PowerPhone, that says it has a system to integrate camera phone photos with E911. Also, a few municipalities are accepting camera phone photos from residents for non-emergency uses. For example, one area in London accepts camera phone photos of graffiti. The borough removes the graffiti and posts photos to prove it has taken action. I just wrote an article about the New York City camera phone plan, here: http://www.cameraphonereport.com/2007/01/new_york_city_w.html Alan A.

It will be an interesting experiment. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
