@taoeffect OFC they could've chosen to implement #eCall in a non-#SurveillanceState fashion by basically using #COSPAS-#SARSAT's 406 MHz band + 121,5 MHz homing signal which would've made the system not dependent on #GSM infrastructure and globally working, but that would've meant people like #Zensursula would've think outside of "How can we accelerate #Cyberfacism in the #EU faster?"...

@hkrn I really should look into that and whether or not that's #Iridium or #COSPAS-#SARSAT!

@dj3ei @BNetzA @KJ7OMO I don't doubt the usefulness for it as well as the priority for emergency broadcasts and relays.

Enough people died for this to be instated by #ITU...

That being said we live in the age if #ERIB, #COSPAR-#SARSAT and #Inmarsat so unless radio equipment & tech is being sabotaged like with #MH370 emergency calls and transmissions should get picked up easily.
