- As a step in that direction, EmergNet is willing to carry any echo (no
- matter what net it originates from) related to emergency services. More
- & more networks emerging will only dilute the existing user base and
- force then to choose which ones to carry so they don't have to make
- multiple LD calls.
- EmergNet also has the capabilities to gate any echo, with sufficient
- usage, to the Fido bacbone (as we do now with CRASH, EMS & SAR).
