But individuals have sued cellular carriers over problems reaching emergency aid from the cell phones.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: But the _original_ cell phone carriers were the telcos (and still mostly are). The VOIP companies consider telco to be athenema, and telco says the feeling is mutual. Yes, individual persons have sued cellco and telco alike; and VOIP and telco are always going at it. But there is no reason for telco to egg on Attorney General to get him to sue their sisters, the cellco. PAT]
