1. Build TTY into the device so you can type to 9-1-1 (fairly short term if feasible)

Cellular networks can already support TTY transmission due to FCC action in the 1990s
PSAPs can already support TTY transmission
TTYs have remained to bulky for meaningful mobile use especially in emergency
Handsets (e.g., SK, Blackberry, Treo -- with keyboards) could be modified so that TTY is built in
- How it works: Deaf user would "call" 9-1-1 as a regular phone call and use the keyboard. PSAP sees it as a TTY call. Location conveys if PSAP can accept.
