NEW YORK (AP) -- Century Communications announced today plans for an
   exciting new 900 service, with profits to go to help defray the
   cost of installing and maintaining enhanced 911 service across the
   country. Called "The 911 Chatline," it allows callers to choose an
   area of the country and to listen to 911 emergency calls from it.

When asked what prompted this unusual foray into the 900 business,
   Century spokeswoman Fawn Lebowitz said, "In recent years we've seen
   a dramatic increase in the popularity of reality-based television
   shows. The 911 Chatline allows callers to experience real-life drama
   while it is going on, all from the comfort of their own home."

While listening to the emergency calls going through, callers to the
   Chatline have a number of options. They can listen to just the 911 calls
   for the area they select, switch their call to a different area, or,
   probably the most interesting option, connect their call to the 911
   Chatline to discuss the details of the emergencies with each other as
   they happen and before the police have even arrived!

Thanks to new voice recognition software from AT&T, callers do not even
   need a touch tone telephone in order to use the service. They can
   choose which 911 center to listen to simply by saying the area code
   and city that they are interested in listening to calls from. Calls
   are directed to the 911 center nearest this location.

As 911 centers sign up to receive their share of the profits, they are
   connected to the Chatline network. Century says it has already wired
   up over 50 centers and that it has coverage in most major metropolitan
   areas. They plan to have the whole nation wired by April 2007.
